Hi Michael,

The first issue was the script didn't exist on the box, but I copied it 
across from a known-good system and it ran just fine.   I've whittled it 
down to this so far:

# /usr/sausalito/sbin/rpm-clean-duplicates.pl
#
### Detected 7 duplicate RPMs:
#
RPM gmp is listed with these version numbers:
4.3.1-7.el6_2.2
4.3.1-7.el6
RPM libblkid is listed with these version numbers:
2.17.2-12.14.el6
2.17.2-12.9.el6
RPM libselinux is listed with these version numbers:
2.0.94-5.2.el6
2.0.94-5.3.el6
RPM libuuid is listed with these version numbers:
2.17.2-12.14.el6
2.17.2-12.9.el6
RPM module-init-tools is listed with these version numbers:
3.9-21.el6_4
3.9-21.el6
RPM sed is listed with these version numbers:
4.2.1-10.el6
4.2.1-7.el6
RPM upstart is listed with these version numbers:
0.6.5-12.el6_4.1
0.6.5-12.el6
#
### Run the following commands (at your own risk!) to remove the newer 
RPMs from the database:
#
rpm -e --justdb libselinux-2.0.94-5.3.el6
[root at vm363 ~]# rpm -e --justdb libselinux-2.0.94-5.3.el6
error: Failed dependencies:
         libselinux = 2.0.94-5.3.el6 is needed by (installed)
libselinux-utils-2.0.94-5.3.el6.x86_64


Do you have any advice for the libselinux issue?
