Right now, I'm running package-cleanup --problems and checking to see if 
the top item on the list is a dupe.  So far, each one is and I nuke the 
fc14 version.  Lather, rise, repeat.  One odd thing, though: it keeps 
listing the fc14 version of rss-glx-xscreensaver as a problem, even 
after I've nuked it.  And, I never use -y so that I can examine what's 
going to be removed Just In Case...
