I seem to have the "gnome-vfs2" package installed twice: ntao:~ rpm -q gnome-vfs2 gnome-vfs2-2.8.2-8 gnome-vfs2-2.8.2-8 (More details below.) Is this unusual? Or standard behavior? Is it significant that I am running x86_64? It turns out that I seem to have 54 such duplicated packages: ntao:~ rpm -qa | sort | uniq -d | wc --lines 54 All my rpm changes since installation have been through "yum update", and I haven't messed around with my /etc/yum.conf at all. This is problematic because "yum update" now chokes on me - and "gnome- vfs2" gets mentioned: [root ~]# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up Repo: base repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files base : ################################################## 2852/2852 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 94 kB 00:02 MD Read : ################################################## 241/241 updates-re: ################################################## 241/241 Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

A more detailed investigation shows that the two are slightly different (e.g., different Size, different Build Date, different Build Host, but same Signature Key ID): ntao:~ rpm -qi gnome-vfs2 Name : gnome-vfs2 Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.8.2 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
