[root at willspc ~]# for package in `rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{arch}\n" | sort | uniq -d | grep -v kernel`; do rpm -q $package; done Which lists all base duplicated packages (though at least kernel and gpg-pubkey are this way by design I believe). Then manually removed the older packages. You could THORETICALLY do... # for duppackage in `rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{arch}\n" | sort | uniq -d | grep -Ev '(kernel)|(gpg-pubkey)'`; do for olderpackage in `rpm -q $duppackage | head -1` do rpm -e $olderpackage; done done WARNING: ^^^^ That's entirely untested and reliant on the ordering from rpm output, which looks consistent but I couldn't *swear* to it. So be careful! :) Will.
