yum-cleanup -d
removes dupes. From yum-utils.
Note: Your system will be just as unhappy if you drop power or whathaveyou in
the middle of a long RPM transaction. In fact, that's what you are doing.
Yum has little to do with this.
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ql yum-utils | grep cleanup
/usr/bin/package-cleanup
/usr/share/man/man1/package-cleanup.1.gz
[root@localhost ~]#
The package-cleanup -d scans and lists dupes but it would nice if
there was a switch to fix the problem.
