I see there were a zillion answers pointing you to the README. :)
These utilities really need man pages. And, as I think about it, the user
interface to package-cleanup is kind of inconsistent with that of yum
itself. Like "yum install", "yum info", etc., it has various different modes
of operation, but they're selected with "--" options. So, to run the
problems-check, you do:
package-cleanup --problems
Whereas "package-cleanup showproblems" would probably be more consistent.
