I created a small script file called dupWithVersions with this in it for pkg in `cat duplicates`; do rpm -q $pkg done Redirect the output to another file like this. $dupWithVersions >removeList
Great tip! Might I add something. Once you have a list of unique files (unedited - full list of unique files) run a for loop using those files for input (as above) but do a grep against the original list of rpms, using the count option. Then with a simple "if" command, if the count is greater than 1, remove it. Continue the for loop. That way the script automatically determines if there is more than one version of an rpm installed and removes it. Jacques B.
