Ah, I see. 

Anyhow, this works for me:

ignore="kernel|kernel-smp|kernel-devel|gpg-pubkey"
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME} %{ARCH}\n" |
   sort | uniq -c | 
   egrep -v '^      1 ' | 
   egrep -v "^ +[0123456789]+ +($ignore) " | 
   gawk '{print $2}' | 
   xargs -r rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"
