Any of those may work *too* well. Be sure to eyeball the list of
proposed deletions.

On the other tentacle, some packages have "fc3", others "FC3", and I
don't know if yum or rpm is case sensitive. On yet another tentacle,
this does not handle the case of duplicate RPMs that do not have the
Fedora version in the file name.
