I had the the duuplicate rpms happen on a x86_64 install and rpm didn't crash to cause it. I basically listed all installed rpms and removed the older versions of the rpms that were dupilcated and did another yum update and all seems ok.

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.
