You might try this script which shows packages duplicated or mismatched 
and has provisions for multiarc systems. It excludes the kernel and 
public keys. Steve Grubb developed this script awhile back. I only 
customized minor things like outputting no duplicates found instead of 
just returning to the prompt without information.
