OK, but what an issue!
Does it apply to FC7 too?

That looks ridiculously laborious.
Maybe easier to build a new system off-line and switch over to it.

# rpm -qa | wc -l
1672
# rpm -qa | grep fc4 | wc -l
259

Is there a tool to search the repositories for all those 1,413 which are
not obviously FC4 ?
