Is there some utility to find and remove packages that had upgrade failures that left both old and new versions both installed? My last smart upgrade gave lots of no such file messages while executing, and now I see with 'rpm -qa | sort' a lot of multi version packages are installed.

rpm --help look for --all (--allfiles --allmatches)

rpm -e --allmatches <some-package>

I don't see/understand enough there to be make anything any easier than dumping rpm -qa output to a file, stripping the lines of packages not to be removed, prepending rpm -e --nodeps to the remainder of the lines, and running it as a script. Am I missing something to cut this work down?
