Appreciate your help.

That script can't stop complaining about one thing:
### Detected 1 duplicate RPMs:
#
RPM glibc-common is listed with these version numbers:
2.17-157.el7_3.5
2.17-196.el7
#
### Run the following commands (at your own risk!) to remove the newer 
RPMs from the database:
#
rpm -e --justdb glibc-common-2.17-196.el7



But that last one spits out an error:



# rpm -e --justdb glibc-common-2.17-196.el7
error: Failed dependencies:
	glibc-common = 2.17-196.el7 is needed by (installed) 
glibc-2.17-196.el7.i686


So out of interest:


# rpm --query glibc
glibc-2.17-157.el7_3.5.x86_64
glibc-2.17-196.el7.i686


And when trying to remove (-e --justdb) either one of these two, rpm 
complains that it is needed by a rather large amount of other packages.

Any ideas how I can get rid of that last duplicate?

Thank you
