I don't want to be too categorical about it, but I deeply distrust that option. IIRC, the one time I tried to use it, I found that what it does is really *remove* packages, which is almost never what you want if you have dupe problems - that is, if you have both 'foo-1.0-1' and 'foo-1.0-2' registered as 'installed' and you run 'package-cleanup --cleandupes', what seems to happen is you wind up with 'foo-1.0-2' registered as 'installed', but *all the files are gone*, or something similarly ridiculous. It was badly broken, anyway. I still stick to the old routine for dupe fixing: 'rpm -e --justdb --noscripts (older_version)', then an 'rpm -V' on the newer version, and 'yum reinstall' it if it seems to be broken. Usually does the trick for me. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
