To do something like that I've used GQView's "Find Duplicates" feature.
It can compare pictures by several attributes (checksum, similarity, name,
etc). Package is called "gqview".

The successor project (a fork of GQView) is Geeqie, albeit
bleeding-edge. Package is "geeqie" in updates-testing and rawhide.
