if yo dont' want to go the full "yum clean all",
try "yumdb --help"
to see what options are available to you.
yum-utils must be installed for this (iirc).
I tried yum clean all and it hasn't reduced the size of yumdb at all.
"yum clean all" will only clean yum cache for the repositories. That has
nothing to do with database of already installed packages.
Yum cache: /var/cache/yum....

According to this and little investigation, you should check each
/var/lib/yum/yumdb/<letter>/$checksum-packagename-$ver-$rel.$arch>/releasever
file and see for what version it was installed. My guess is that string
in releasever file will determine if file was from 12.0, 13.0, etc...

This should get you going:
installed=$(rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' | sort)
for pckg in $installed; do
yumdb get releasever $pckg | grep -v "Loaded plugins" | tr -d '\n'
| awk '{print $4 " " $1}' | sort | awk '{print $2 " " $1}' >
installed_pckg.txt
done
Now you will have the list of installed packages sorted by releasever key.
You can also use:
yumdb search releasever "12.0"
to search for specific values/<distro versions>, but be carefull. I my
CentOS 6 there are packages with either "6" and "6.0" for releasever,
but "6" is not equal to "6.0", they are separate/diferent/unique key values.
For short list without version numbers and $arch use this:
installed=$(rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' | sort)
for pckg in $installed; do
yumdb get releasever $pckg | grep -v "Loaded plugins" | tr -d '\n'
| awk '{print $4 " " "'"$pckg"'" }' | sort | awk '{print $2 " " $1}' >
installed_pckg_short.txt
done
Next part would be to delete (presumable) old packages, but I see
multiple possible problems since it looks like yumdb is saving only
entries that are current, actualy used by sistem. I looked for my
package "krusader" which I updated recently, but older version is no
where to be seen, just the latest.
Procedure to delete would be to find directories in /var/lib/yum/yumdb/
matched with full package name (with version and $arch) using listing of
names provided with the first/upper script I wrote, and delete them with
rm -fR <folder name>, or better to move it to safe location and delete
it manualy.
