No. Such duplicated rpmdb entries indicate something having gone utterly wrong when installing a package, either underneath of yum/apt or deeply inside of rpm. > For that matter, are there any packages with the fc7 tag still valid > on F9? They may be valid, they may not be valid. Provided Fedora's current package naming rules, these tags are not of much importance in an installation. A package using '*.fc9' only means that the packager had been using dist-tags inside of his rpm.specs and that the package has been built after fc8. I.e. a package using "*.fc7" may well be valid/current for FC9. > If not, that would provide me with some low hanging cruft. Check the "package-cleanup" utility from the yum-utils package. Unless your rpmdb is corrupt (your symptoms above could be in indication for such breakdown), package-cleanup should enable you to sort out your issues.
