This should give us a list of duplicated packages.
Unfortunately, you will have to check them yourself to make sure you
remove the older version. Had to do that myself yesterday on a server
of mine with messed up selinux contexts.
I recomend analysing the scripts for each package, and then deciding
if you will use "--noscripts" or not for removing. Things can get
ugly pretty quick if you are not careful when removing duplicated
packages.
