I have just loaded up CentOS4.1 on a PE1850 with twin Intel x86_64's. When I came to clean out those packages I didn't want (because some always creep in however careful you are), apart from those with dependencies, I notice a lot of cases where there are two packages of the same name installed - one clearly an x86 package and one an x86_64 package. eg apr Is this intentional and if it is, how do I remove using rpm -e those packages with duplicate modules without removing those that will break dependencies?
