Very nice - I will spend time to figure out how you did this:
I have another question: Some of the duplicate packages were real obvious, like this:


apr-devel-0.9.4-23
apr-devel-0.9.4-24.2

But what about something like this:

boost-devel-1.31.0-9
boost-devel-1.32.0-5.fc3

I've not touched any of these types yet. I did remove a bunch in the former category. In this second category there are at least 15-20 of these.


A great suggestion was made by someone earlier about the multiple versions of same packages showing up. The safest thing to do is to
rpm -e package --justdb
the earlier version instead of just rpm -e package. The reason explained deals with removing common files between the older and the newer version. The newer version probably already updated common files that have changed.


Check a few of the packages with the --verify option given to rpm for the remaining packages that were not removed to see if they check out alright.

rpm -q --verify remaining-package

PS - Stopping rpm, up2date or yum before they complete do cause this multiple version per upgraded packages currently. The database is probably in a state where the database entries were never removed. The older packages were probably successfully removed already.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem.
