If you try to fedup and the fedup doesn't work (completed but kernel panic on boot) don't try to 'yum erase' the duplicate RPM's. I goes through the uninstall process and removes all the GLIBC files and leaves you with a totally stuiffed server
Yes indeed. Instead, use `package-cleanup --cleandupes` (possibly with the --noscripts flag if there are issues) from the yum-utils package.
I so wish I knew that one as I now can't log out because I know that if I do I can never log in again. I'm desparately trying to do whatever rescue I can without being able to actually load anything
yum check
Then do yum install for anything missing. If you have missing dependencies for that, contact me in private, I can provide specific files for x86_64. That is assuming you can't fetch rpms and extract the files manually.
I have had this happen even with the "proper" clean up methods several times. It is a royal pain.
