Duplicate packages - what do I do?

[awrobinson at nc.rr.com]

OK, now that I know the duplicates are supposed to be there, any harm in
leaving them all? Any benefit?

I'm having trouble getting a 'yum upgrade' to complete. It's probably a
different issue, but I'll ask since it's marginally related. Yum knows
the difference between the i386 and x86_64 packages, doesn't it?

It's normal: one is i386 arch for 32-bit programs and one is 64-bit.

For example, arts:

# rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION} %{ARCH}\n" arts
arts-1.5.1 x86_64
arts-1.5.1 i386

You can nuke just one arch by, eg,

#rpm -e arts.i386

I think.
