Does anyone know how this is done?
Install the 'yum-utils' package. It includes the 'package-cleanup'
utility that does what you want.
Thanks for the tip!
Howevcr, I ran into this problem:
==================================================
# package-cleanup --cleandupes
Setting up yum
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
I will remove the following old duplicate packages:
2:lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9.i386
postgresql-pgpoolAdmin-1.0.0-7.fc8.noarch
Is this ok [y/N]: y
/usr/lib/lam/lam.ld.conf has not been configured as an alternative for
mpilibs32
error: %preun(lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
=====================================================
So, how can I remove lam-libs?
This was a bug in that release of the lam-libs package, which was
fixed in the newest lam-libs. I would do this (as root):
rpm -q --scripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9 > /tmp/lam-libs-scripts
rpm -e --noscripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9
Then look at the /tmp/lam-libs-scripts, in particular %preun and
%postun, and see if there's anything you need to handle manually.
Interesting... this is what I have done:
# rpm -q --scripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9 > /tmp/lam-libs-scripts
# rpm -e --noscripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9
# more /tmp/lam-libs-scripts
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
alternatives --install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/mpi32.conf \
mpilibs32 /usr/lib/lam/lam.ld.conf 5
/sbin/ldconfig
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
alternatives --remove mpilibs32 /usr/lib/lam/lam.ld.conf
postuninstall program: /sbin/ldconfig
I have no idea what the tmp file is telling me! Do you
notice anything of significance?
Thanks!
Dan
