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
