howto get rid of Double Rpm's
 

I have a lot of double rpms ,but different versions, Is there a way clean out the older
versions without having to do it one at a time.
What command would you give to read for double versions of a RPM.

caer to expand on a "double rpm"? any examples? if it's things like "gtk-1.2.12" and "gtk-2.6.8" then these are different libraries, and perfectly valid...

I follow you on that point but ,I have a lot of double execute rpms that is affecting updating of packages.
When I try updating I get errors about dependencies and I have to go and remove these double rpms
with earlier version numbers to be able to get a updates of new packages.
You see when you get a bad update sometimes it installs a later version of a Rpm and does not remove
the old version. Then you have to go in and remove the old version of a rpm to get another update.
Yes it happens in Linux.

I had this problem with FC2, and you just have to uninstall the old packages and keep the new ones.

yes I agree , but what command do I use to display all the double Rpm's.
Apt/synaptic is a good app to diplay them, but I can't find a apt/synaptic that runs in Fedora4 yet.
Does anyone know if GYUM is out for Fedora4 yet?

Jim

Did you try the versions for FC3 from fedoraproject.org. The only problem is that you may not have any apt repositories for FC4 yet.
