None of those were dupes, but I had 400+, so I did:
# package-cleanup --dupes > out
then removed one line from out and ran:
for rpm in $(cat out) do rpm -e ${rpm} ; done
Any rpms with nothing depending on them got removed, the rest errored
and stayed.
That didn't get them all because in 8 cases, there were dependencies
on both installed rpms. So I did the package cleanup list of dupes
again, edited the file and removed the newest version of each one,
added --nodeps to the rpm -e in the for loop and re-ran it.
I've just yum upgrade'ed and now I'm checking for dupes and bad deps,
and everything seemed fine until I re-booted. The rpmfusion catalyst
driver isn't working properly now, so their computer is back to the
open source driver until I can figure that one out.

yum shell is new to me. I'll have to play with that.
