This is the second time on a version upgrade that I've been hit with the futex wait issue. Last time I hung with about 5 packages to go, this time it hung with about 50 packages on the clean up. Now I have loads of duplicate packages, any way to search and/or remove them without trying to do it manually?

rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n" | sort | uniq -d

This should give us a list of duplicated packages.

Be careful with that -- it'll give false positives on x86_64 (or any other dual arch system). Try:

rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{arch}\n" | sort | uniq -d
