AFAIU this only removes information about certain package version from rpm database? In that case, this solution can actually be better. > There may be an equivalent parameter for > package-cleanup , I'm not sure. > > It may be that --cleandupes usually does the right thing and I just got > unlucky, but I'd be careful with it :) Once again thanks for the warning. > -- > Adam Williamson > Fedora QA Community Monkey > IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org > http://www.happyassassin.net Regards, Michal -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
