While updating my Fedora 19 system today using check-update I discovered this:
** Found 1 pre-existing rpm db problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: cronie-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19.i686 [root@localhost frank]#
It seems a few weeks ago Yum attempted to update cronie. as I recall it failed because of a script problem in the package. I tried it a second time and seemingly it installed. But now I have the duplicate problem.
What's the best way to resolve this ?
First (as superuser root) try out the
package-cleanup --cleandupes
command. If that doesn't manage to remove the duplicate, give
rpm --erase --justdb --noscripts --notriggers cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19
a try.
I tried package-cleanup but it didn't work.
but
rpm --erase --justdb --noscripts --notriggers cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19
did!
[root@localhost frank]# rpm -qa | grep cronie cronie-anacron-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686 cronie-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686 [root@localhost frank]#
Thanks Michael
