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:

4182620    76 -rw-r--r-- 1 root    72356 Jun  4 11:03 yp-tools-2.9-0.1.i386.rpm
4182621   536 -rw-r--r-- 1 root   542268 Jun  4 11:03 yum-3.2.0-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
4182622    28 -rw-r--r-- 1 root    25285 Jun  4 11:03 yum-metadata-parser-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm
4182623    24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root    22527 Jun  4 11:03 yum-updatesd-3.2.0-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
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!

Yes, the DVD is a subset of available F7 packages. It does not include
packages from the merged Extras repository. If you desire to keep a
local mirror  to sync your local mirror with the
/fedora/releases/7Everything and /fedora/updates/7 repositories.
