I am a relative newcomer to Fedora (I'm a Debian refugee) so my knowledge of yum at the moment is pretty minimal. Does anyone have any suggestions on how this can be fixed? The system still boots fine
FWIW, the few times I got stuck in a case like that, I rpm -V'ed the newer dupes, and if that resulted in an OK, you can do this:
rpm -e --justdb --noscripts (older version)
what that basically does is simply remove the entry from the RPM database without running any scriptlets or actually deleting any files from the filesystem.
