multiple version of software installed, just to be clear this isn't a

different versions.
This has been affected about 50 packages in total, some lib*, lots of
gnome*, some xorg and a few *.noarch, so no particular area.
I have had a few yum updates hang (due to the gcj-dbtool hanging?) so
this might explain it, I've manually tided up the dupes now.
Since I can't say what brought this on and can't repoduce it at the
moment, I'm not planning to bugzilla it, unless anyone else sees it too,
or thinks it is significant enough to warrant a bugzilla?
The included script helps cleaning up. It removes the older duplicate
and rpm verifies the current one. No warranty expressed or implied. It
works for me but I could be living in ignorant bliss...
