distro-sync doesn't work. It finds all the packages with fc22 installed, 
but simply tries to reinstall the fc21 packages. Then it fails because 
all the fc21 packages are already installed.

package-cleanup find the dupes ok , but package-cleanup --cleandupes 
will remove the _older_ package. Not what we want.

FWIW, I ran rebuilddb.

What i'd really like to do is find a way to get fedup to run. I can't 
figure out where fedup is getting the info I'm already at fc22.

Stumped.
