Ok, we ran package-cleanup --dupes and the --cleandupes. It didn't 
really show you what it was doing but after a while the prompt came back 
and when we ran --dupes again there were no packages listed. But now we 
notice something else. For example the yum 3.2.21 package is showing the 
fc9 version. And when you do 'yum list yum' it only shows you the fc9 
installed version. But I know there is a version in fc10 and it should 
have shown that as available. Also the rpmdb shows 753 fc10 and 283 fc9 
for packages by release. But yet 'yum update' shows no packages 
available for update.
