It happened to me with an upgrade. I got bit by some bug where the screen was blank but the upgrade was actually happening. I didn't see much in the way of disk activity so I force rebooted the machine. It actually booted but I had a bunch of duplicate packages since most of the f26 packages had installed but the f25 (and 24) packages didn't get cleaned up. I tried using 'dnf repoquery --duplicated > duplicates.log' and then cat'ing that to dnf remove with xargs (grepping for fc25) but it wanted to remove a bunch of dependent packages. I ended up having the use 'rpm -e --nodeps' to get rid of the duplicate packages and then a 'dnf distro-sync' got me pretty much fixed up. On a side note, I also updated an old laptop and I did not interrupt the upgrade process but I still ended up with a lot of duplicate packages... Not sure how that happened. Thanks, Richard
