While updating my Fedora 19 system today using check-update I discovered
this:
** Found 1 pre-existing rpm db problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
cronie-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686 is a duplicate with cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19.i686
[root@localhost frank]#
It seems a few weeks ago Yum attempted to update cronie. as I recall
it failed because of a script problem in the package. I tried it a
second time
and seemingly it installed. But now I have the duplicate problem.
What's the best way to resolve this ?
Thanks

simply remove the older one
you should *at least* provide informations like "rpm -qa | grep cronie"

Thaty didn't work either because cronie-anacron needs
cronie installed. Trying to remove cronie-anacron
would take out 152 megs of packages.
A suggestion from mschwendt worked.

what are you talking about?
my command removes the *dupe* and nothing else
nowhere did i say use yum!
A suggestion from mschwendt worked
which is exactly the same as i said with additional params
but you referred to rpm-sripts and so --noscripts is the param
for it (and why i mentioned "man rpm" to read and understand)
hence the hammer would have been "rpm -e --noscripts --nodeps
cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19.i686"
and in any case i recommended "yum reinstall cronie" *after* that to be 100%
safe

First (as superuser root) try out the
package-cleanup --cleandupes
command. If that doesn't manage to remove the duplicate, give
rpm --erase --justdb --noscripts --notriggers cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19
a try.

I tried package-cleanup but it didn't work.
but
rpm --erase --justdb --noscripts --notriggers cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19
did!
[root@localhost frank]# rpm -qa | grep cronie
cronie-anacron-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686
cronie-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686
