Erm... I don't mean exact duplicates, but packages that
<br>
are "left behind" and superseded by new packages. Sometimes
<br>
newer packages are installed and older ones are not removed
<br>
via the cleanup processes. There are exceptions of course, such
<br>
as kernels, which must be removed manually, when desired.
<br>
<br>
I am basically looking for packages that are no longer needed
<br>
when new packages are installed, so that I can reclaim disk space.

Thanks!
