AWS 機器上 duplicated RPM 問題

昨天幫忙升級全部

AWS RPM 套件，升級過程本來很順利，不過不知道哪一個 RPM 造成 SSH 全面斷線，接著我直接到 AWS Management Console 把機器 restart，登入系統之後下 yum update，直接給我噴出底下錯誤訊息

---> Package zlib.i686 0:1.2.3-24.7.amzn1 will be updated
---> Package zlib.i686 0:1.2.3-25.8.amzn1 will be an update
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

看到上面問題其實也不用訝異，因為就是升級過程如果遇到重新開機，就會變成這樣，那該如何修復這些套件呢，想當然就是要移除 duplicate 的套件，網路上在

Frodra Forum 找到一篇解法 HOWTO: Remove older duplicated RPMs automatically，請按照底下方式來解決此問題:

# 首先安裝 yum-utils 套件
yum install yum-utils
# 執行 clean duplicate package
package-cleanup --cleandupes

執行完上面步驟，在接著把沒有安裝的 RPM 繼續安裝，透過

yum update 即可。
