Thanks, that makes it easier to find the dupes, unfortunately it looks
worse then I first thought.
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n" | sort | uniq -d | wc -l

Hmm, maybe a full reinstall might be less painful. I've been hit with
this futex thing quite a few times over the past 5 or so years, twice
on the upgrade for CentOS. The rest on Fedora and RH 9, etc. Anyone
know why this hasn't been fixed all this time? Is it not fixable?
Anyway to insure this doesn't happen again on an upgrade?
