What I'm doing is using rpm -V to verify the packages that are duplicated. For example, the newer glibc package seems to verify just fine. And the old gives a lot of errors. # rpm -V glibc-2.3.4-2.13 ........C /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache .......T. c /etc/rpc ........C /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache # rpm -V glibc-2.3.4-2.9 .......T. c /etc/rpc S.5....T. /lib/i686/libc-2.3.4.so S.5....T. /lib/i686/libm-2.3.4.so Can I assume yum installed the newer version and just wasn't able to remove the old entry somehow ? I tried to remove the older apr package and it seems it worked... but glibc is.. special. Thanks in advance, -- Giovanni P. Tirloni http://tirloni.blogspot.com
