Yes, I did get lots of duplicate packages but I've already fixed
that. Basically, what I did was to run Adam Stoke's script to
remove duplcate packages. It can be located at
http://astokes.org/?q=node/49
That website is no longer working. Is there still a copy of this
script floating around?
Not that I could find unfortunaltey. I've just done...
[root@willspc ~]# for package in `rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{arch}\n" |
sort | uniq -d | grep -v kernel`;
do
rpm -q $package;
done
Which lists all base duplicated packages (though at least kernel and
gpg-pubkey are this way by design I believe). Then manually removed
the older packages. You could THORETICALLY do...
# for duppackage in `rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{arch}\n" | sort | uniq -d
| grep -Ev '(kernel)|(gpg-pubkey)'`;
do
for olderpackage in `rpm -q $duppackage | head -1`
do
rpm -e $olderpackage;
done
done
WARNING: ^^^^ That's entirely untested and reliant on the ordering
from rpm output, which looks consistent but I couldn't *swear* to it.
So be careful! :)
Will.
