Steve,
This version works great for me but has the effect that Ville mentioned. 
I was having troubles with lines wrapping so I added the \ to prevent 
the breaking up when the script was pasted.
Thanks! This works fine and is valuable to fine dupes and also the 
feature to show version information for multiple version packages is 
very valuable. I did have the below output for no duplicates found.

No duplicate entries outputs:
~/find-dupes-sgmv.sh
rpmq: no arguments given for query
rpmq: no arguments given for query

Removing kernel from exclusions outputs:
[jim at cornette-lt ~]$ ~/find-dupes-sgmv.sh
Duplicates were found:
kernel-2.6.15-1.1895_FC5
kernel-2.6.15-1.1907_FC5

Adding an x to the end of gpg-pubkey shows:
[jim at cornette-lt ~]$ ~/find-dupes-sgmv.sh
Duplicates were found:
gpg-pubkey-1ac70ce6-41bebeef
gpg-pubkey-a109b1ec-3f6e28d5

Thanks!
Jim
