It did help - thanks Andy... It was the latter (2 copies of e.g. qlibc) so I ran package-cleanup --cleandupes This caused me to take a bit of a deep breath as it also wanted to remove various dependencies and amounted to some 50 packages to be removed. However - "yum check" comes up clean and the so far everything seems OK. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated... Mark
