Duplicate rpms

[Mike Chambers]

Ok, due to my stupidity and interrupting yum doing some upgrades, I have
a few dup rpms that I need to get rid of the older ones.

Is there a way to do this without tediously going through my whole list
rpm by rpm and removing them one by one?  Like a search script or
command to use and have the older ones removed?

Thanks,

Mike Chambers

# yum install yum-utils
# package-cleanup --cleandupes

I believe package-cleanup --dupes (in yum-utils) is what you need.

Hi,

You might have good luck with the Smart package manager. It has a
command "Fix All Problems" that will often fix this. :-)

yum install smart-gui
