[msoulier@kanga ~]$ alias pkg_dups alias pkg_dups=3D'pkg_info | sort | sed -e '\''s/-[0-9].*$//'\'' | uniq -c | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*1'\''' [msoulier@kanga ~]$ pkg_dups 3 autoconf 3 automake 2 libtool 2 p5-Compress-Zlib 2 p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder 2 p5-IO-String I'd prefer to have one version of each of these installed. What's the normal way to resolve this, and the subsequent dependency problems? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier
