Try package-cleanup in yum-utils.

Hi! Out of curiosity I tried to run package-cleanup in a freshly upgraded
F7 machine and noticed that there was no package-cleanup command...
I then tried "yum install yum-utils"
[root@odin ~]# yum install yum-utils
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do
My fedora repository is pointing to a local network mirror (I did a
FC6-F7 yum upgrade from this mirror) which is based on the install DVD
contents, so...
I checked the rpm packages in the DVD and notice that there is no
F7 yum-utils package:

4182624 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 23070 Jun 4 11:03 zd1211-firmware-1.3-4.fc7.noarch.rpm
I also tried:
[root@odin ~]# yum whatprovides package-cleanup
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
No Matches found
[root@odin ~]# yum search yum-utils
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
No Matches found
Am I overlooking something? Is "yum clean packages" equivalent? Thanks!
