Instead, use `package-cleanup --cleandupes` (possibly with the > --noscripts flag if there are issues) from the yum-utils package. I wonder if this will work booting a live cd, mounting the broken system parts [1], and chrooting it, then running package-cleanup? Chris Murphy [1] grep mount /var/log/anaconda/anaconda.program.log will give an example of how to mount the system the way the installer does it. For a btrfs system it looks like this: 14:45:00,060 INFO program: Running... mount -t btrfs -o subvol=root /dev/sda3 /mnt/sysimage 14:45:00,289 INFO program: Running... mount -t ext4 -o defaults /dev/sda2 /mnt/sysimage/boot 14:45:00,477 INFO program: Running... mount -t vfat -o umask=0077,shortname=winnt /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage/boot/efi 14:45:00,700 INFO program: Running... mount -t bind -o bind,defaults /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev 14:45:00,863 INFO program: Running... mount -t devpts -o gid=5,mode=620 devpts /mnt/sysimage/dev/pts 14:45:01,039 INFO program: Running... mount -t tmpfs -o defaults tmpfs /mnt/sysimage/dev/shm 14:45:01,218 INFO program: Running... mount -t btrfs -o subvol=home /dev/sda3 /mnt/sysimage/home 14:45:01,416 INFO program: Running... mount -t proc -o defaults proc /mnt/sysimage/proc 14:45:02,901 INFO program: Running... mount -t bind -o bind,defaults /run /mnt/sysimage/run 14:45:03,072 INFO program: Running... mount -t sysfs -o defaults sysfs /mnt/sysimage/sys 14:45:03,241 INFO program: Running... mount -t selinuxfs -o defaults selinuxfs /mnt/sysimage/sys/fs/selinux 14:45:03,429 INFO program: Running... mount -t btrfs -o subvol=var /dev/sda3 /mnt/sysimage/var -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
