Another problem now is that a lot of rpm's are now double installed and
somehow this prevents dependency checking of yum from working as it
seems to only see the first package, for example i get the following
error;

Error: Missing Dependency: gnome-python2-desktop = 2.15.3-4 is needed by
package gnome-python2-nautilus-cd-burner

rpm -q gnome-python2-nautilus-cd-burner  shows;
gnome-python2-nautilus-cd-burner-2.15.3-4
gnome-python2-nautilus-cd-burner-2.15.4-1

And this happens for loads of packages. I am now trying to remove the
double ones one by one. 

Is there anyway to clean up this mess in a more automated way ? Cause i
do not hope i have to remove over 1000 RPMS one by one.
