I installed the wrong version of rpmforge for el7. Then I ran an update which installed this package on my system
python-crypto-2.6.1-1.el7.rf.x86_64
Notice the el7 but I am on rhel6. I then realized and removed the wrong repository and installed the right one for el6.
$ rpm -qa | grep rpmfor
rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64
But the above process has broken the update process, which I know I could work around using --skip-broken
option. How do I downgrade for the above mentioned package. I tried to uninstall and install it back again but I get this error:
Error: Trying to remove "c4ebpl", which is protected
It shows me some protected packages which can't be removed.
Update process using sudo yum update
gives me this error:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
Would anyone know how to downgrade to the original packages? Is there a way to do a factory reset? Or do I need to re-install linux again?
Some things I tried:
I deleted the python-crypto.x86_64
package using this command
sudo rpm --nodeps -e python-crypto.x86_64
And the update went through. So I thought I should install the python-crypto.x86_64
package now as I have the right el6 rpmforge repository. So I ran this command sudo yum install python-crypto.x86_64
but I got the same error:

I don't know why its trying to find the el7 package? I have these libraries in my machine.
$ rpm -qa | grep rpmfor
rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64
