duplicate RPMs installed

[Barnett, Blake]

I've had a lot of problems with the RPM database getting corrupted or being
invalid (ie. package is uninstalled but the database doesn't think so.)
Which is the main reason I dislike rpm, this seems to happen constantly.
Also, the groups which software belongs to, there doesn't seem to be a
standardized naming convention.  Many packages belong to groups which the
package maintainer believes would be the right group.  These are a few the
issues I'd like to see addressed as far as rpm goes.  It would seem dpkg is
much better for issues like this?  I'll have to give it a try.

I have read in a couple of magazines that Compaq is going to move to 
RPM for Tru64.. We will see.

In Earthlink (then MindSpring) I wanted to use RPM/SRPM instead of DPKG
but I lost the war. I must admit that using DPKG has not been bad and
it is way better than nothing..
