Is there an rpm or apt-get comment that can batch remove repeat rpms. The old version of rather.
A dimwit neighbour decide not allow synaptic to finish updating and force shut it down to go watch football (american). Now he keeps getting warnings of multiple rpm versions. I can't go fix it for obvious reasons. So I'm hoping to give him some command that would resolve this. Otherwise, he has to drop off. He's "extremely social" if you know what I mean. Sadly he's a good old friend's son, I can't really say no.
This is the same person who decided his new snowblower could clean his "short" drive way without engine oil.
Why crackmonkeys should not be allowed to own tech...
I know I'm going to end up having to do it, but I thought I'd ask.

It's a long time since I used rpms but now with Debian packages and in the past with rpms I do such things by listing all packages and running them through simple Shell or Perl scripts to create a list of packages to be removed. I imagine some folk might prefer Python.

There's a pandemic. He can drop it off outside or fuggedaboutit.

Ok that's spooky. How did you know he was Italian? He does actually say "fuggedaboutit".
Yes, I've already listed them but I'm not going to sit there trying to do this online. He's also done some other mechanical damage, for example ACTUALLY using his bluray drive as a cup holder.
Yes, he's that stupid. Which is odd, his brother and sister are both very intelligent. As is his mother and late father. It's his mother I'm friends with and I can't stand to see her hurt. I'm going to quietly fix it.
He'll drop the bloody thing off tomorrow.
Thanks for the input and the laugh.

I have similar experiences with younger people. It is "Idiocracy" now. The problem is with smartphones and such in early age (lets say <18) damages the cognitive functions of the brain. Are his brother and sister older how old is the guy - just curios.

LOL ... Picard once said in a distant future: "Intelligence of a planet is constant. It's just the number of individuals that vary".

Tech gets smarter, people get stupider.
That's why stone tools are still the best: forwards-backwards compatible, upgradable, free/libre/open source, and readily available almost everywhere.
