I first checked that the entries were only leftover by verification. Afterwards, no multiversions or long list of updates showed available. /root/scripts/sg-dupes-mv.sh Searching for duplicates No duplicates found.

If you are doing that with duplicates there is a pretty good chance
that you will remove something which you do not want to remove or
leave something which should be gone. 'rpm -V ...' is in order
for every package you were "fixing".
A safer course of action is to remove _newer_ packages from duplicate
pairs and to rerun an update transaction again. This should fix
lefover problems.
It would be the best, of course, if such shenanigans would be not
ever required.
That would put me back to where I started when the rpms installed but the datyabase entries were never entered into the database. Running it with the older entries does not seem to remove the packages as they should and replace only with the newer version entries. Updating the whole operation did not do me any good. I used the downloaded cache and ran --replacepkgs and --replacfiles which still left all the older versions which would come back with missing files for kernel when verified. The older versions always came back with time and filesize errors. Removing the older entries with --justdb seemed to get the system back on track. I'll check if the documentation for the older version is still in place as a check for the old rpm being removed completely.. I imaging it should be removed since the phantom kernel came back missing on verify. fortunatately this problem only happened once and never before or since. Either the cause was patched or I had a non-reproducable glitch in the update process. Closing bug as once bitten. |
