Problem "rpm -qa | grep basesystem" now produces this output: basesystem-8.0-2 basesystem-8.0-2 "rpm -qa | grep glibc-2" now produces this output: glibc-2.3.2-27.9 glibc-2.3.2-27.9 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Haven't tried to reproduce because I don't want to make a bigger mess of the system. Additional info: How do I remove one of the duplicated packages, i.e. how to I make one instance of basesystem go away?
Additional info: Tried running "rpm --rebuilddb" this did not make the duplicate packages go away.
