NAME¶
rpmduplicates - find program with several version installed
DESCRIPTION¶
sometimes, the upgrade of a system will install new packages, and "forget" to remove the older version. Rpmorphan do not work with this kind of unused packages. Rpmduplicates is the answer. I recommend to run it after each distribution upgrade (for example from fedora core 7 to 8).
