As part of getting my system back to where it should be, I've gotten a
list of dupes from package-cleanup. Simply telling it to resolve the
issues doesn't work because of some dependency issues. What I'm doing
now is taking things listed as having problems, and with versions
pre-fc16 and trying to resolve them one by one. Slow, but I might
eventually clear up the dependency issues if I'm lucky.
The first thing I tried was glew. I only have the fc16 version of
glew installed, but I have both the fc14 and fc16 versions of
glew-devel. I'm fairly sure that it's safe to remove the older
version, but I thought I'd see what others think. Opinions?
I've gotten burned while removing duplicates in the past.
The safest way that I came up with is to simply run "yum reinstall
<package>" for each package that has duplicates. This will make sure
that none of the newer package's files get removed, while the old one is
cleaned up properly. It also installs all necessary dependencies, so you
don't need to worry about that.
