Hi! Out of curiosity I tried to run package-cleanup in a freshly upgraded 
F7 machine and noticed that there was no package-cleanup command...

I then tried "yum install yum-utils"

[root at odin ~]# yum install yum-utils
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

My fedora repository is pointing to a local network mirror (I did a 
FC6-F7 yum upgrade from this mirror) which is based on the install DVD 
contents, so...

I checked the rpm packages in the DVD and notice that there is no 
F7 yum-utils package:

I also tried:

[root at odin ~]# yum whatprovides package-cleanup
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
No Matches found


[root at odin ~]# yum search yum-utils
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
No Matches found

Am I overlooking something? Is "yum clean packages" equivalent? Thanks!
