yum died on me once and left a bunch of dup packages on my system
since the cleanup part never ran on these packages. I wrote a script
to fix these:
#!/bin/bash
for package in $(rpm -qa --qf '%{name}.%{arch}\n' | sort | uniq -d) ; do
remove=`rpm -q $package | grep -v $(repoquery --quiet
-C --queryformat '%{version}-%{release}' $package)`
echo "Removing $remove.i386 ...";
rpm -e --nodeps "$remove.i386";
echo "Removing $remove.x86_64 ...";
rpm -e --nodeps "$remove.x86_64";
done
This script only gets i386 and x86_64 packages, the noarch and i686
packages will have to be done by hand
