upgraded to F20, still have F18 packages

[John Aldrich]

Can I just do a "yum remove *.fc18.*" to remove those packages since I should 
have the F20 versions now?

I'd advise against blindly doing so.

First, try a 'yum distro-sync'. This will make sure you have the newest
versions of those packages that are available in repos you have
enabled.

Next, 'yum list extras' which will tell you packages you have installed
that are not in any enabled repo you have. If the fc18 ones are in
this, it's probibly safe to yum remove them. If they aren't likely they
are packages that failed to rebuild in the f19/f20 cycles.

You want to run

package-cleanup --dupes

This will print the F18 packages that also have F20 installed.  Erase
only those (which could easily be scripted).
