I can't remove duplicate packages.

[hunter86_bg]

It's nice there is a new feature '--removenewestdupes'.
This will ease the recovery.

[hack3rcon]

I even quoted the relevant section in my last reply yet you still ignore it.

Oh sorry, I'm in a hurry.
I did:

Code: Select all

# package-cleanup --cleandupes --removenewestdupes

and it removed some packages but:

Code: Select all

$ sudo package-cleanup --cleandupes --removenewestdupes

And now you get to reinstall your system. Unless by some tiny chance you did actually follow the instructions in that article and make a backup of /var/lib/rpm and /var/lib/yum before you started?

What does "reinstall" mean? Whole system?

I used https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... y-problems and decreased it to:

When I want to remove them, then it show me:

Error: Trying to remove "systemd", which is protected
Error: Trying to remove "yum", which is protected

Any idea to solve them?

Try to remove the newest package via 'rpm -e --no-deps
packagename-version' (check the man for exact syntax).
