I was afraid someone was going to tell me something like that. There are
a number of packages that are in duplicate and triplicate. I assume that
if I get a dependency message, such as
        glibc = 2.5-10.fc6 is needed by (installed)
glibc-headers-2.5-10.fc6.i386
        glibc = 2.5-10.fc6 is needed by (installed)
glibc-devel-2.5-10.fc6.i386
that I need to follow it through by checking for dup's on those packages
and then removing and so on...

Just so I understand , are there any cases where multiple versions of
the same package are acceptable?
