I was in meetings most of the afternoon yesterday, so I didn't get a
chance to try Garrick's solution until this morning. I made the list
of duplicate RPMs, and it contained over 100 RPMs. It then occurred
to me that I only needed to remove the RPMs that are causing the
conflict to get yum to finish the update. But then along came
Karanbir's email, and using "package-cleanup --problems" narrowed
down the list even further. I did an "rpm -q" for each package
identified by "package-cleanup --problems" followed by an "rpm -e" of
the higher versioned RPM. Then "yum update" worked just fine.
However, I still have a lot of duplicate RPMs installed. I don't
think I can do an "rpm -e" on the lower versioned RPM, since many (if
not all) of the files are in the newer RPM as well. Maybe I'll have
to do an "rpm -e --justdb" for each lower versioned RPM to fix this...
In any event, thanks for your help. This list is great.
Alfred
