I wonder why during an upgrade from FC5 to FC6, yum is asking for i386 dependencies files? I cleaned up my system of all i386 packages (some of them where confusing yum which bombed out with an error message asking for dependencies when both the x86_64 and the i386 package where installed). After this small bit of sanitation I ran "yum upgrade" and was surprised to see on the list of dependencies to be installed some i386 packages. Here is the whole dependencies list. ======================================================= Installing for dependencies: audit-libs i386 1.4-1.fc6 updates 57 k cairomm x86_64 1.2.4-1.fc6 extras 40 k cyrus-sasl-md5 x86_64 2.1.22-4 core 46 k dbus i386 1.0.1-9.fc6 updates 471 k dbus-glib i386 0.70-6.fc6 updates 152 k dvd+rw-tools x86_64 7.0-0.fc6.4 updates 117 k elfutils-libelf-devel-static x86_64 0.125-1.fc6 updates 57 k expat i386 1.95.8-8.2.1 core 77 k ffmpeg-libs x86_64 0.4.9-0.34.20070204.lvn6 livna 1.5 M fftw x86_64 3.1.2-3.fc6 extras 1.0 M glib2 i386 2.12.9-1.fc6 updates 698 k gnome-python2-gconf x86_64 2.16.2-2.fc6 updates 34 k gtk2-engines x86_64 2.8.0-1.fc6 core 350 k hpijs x86_64 1:1.6.12-1.fc6 updates 289 k imake x86_64 1.0.2-3 core 319 k kpartx x86_64 0.4.7-5 core 408 k libcap i386 1.10-25 core 22 k libdca x86_64 0.0.2-3.lvn6 livna 103 k libdvdnav x86_64 0.1.10-2.lvn6 livna 88 k libfontenc-devel x86_64 1.0.2-2.1 core 8.6 k libfreebob x86_64 1.0.0-3.fc6 extras 155 k libiec61883 x86_64 1.1.0-1.fc6 updates 37 k libnotify x86_64 0.4.2-5.fc6 updates 38 k libofa x86_64 0.9.3-8.fc6 extras 63 k libselinux i386 1.33.4-2.fc6 updates 94 k libsepol i386 1.15.3-1.fc6 updates 129 k libsepol-devel x86_64 1.15.3-1.fc6 updates 194 k libsysfs x86_64 2.0.0-6 core 45 k libtunepimp x86_64 0.5.3-1.fc6 extras 373 k libvolume_id x86_64 095-17.fc6 updates 36 k nash x86_64 5.1.19.0.2-1 updates 1.1 M notification-daemon x86_64 0.3.6-1.fc6 updates 52 k notify-python x86_64 0.1.0-3.fc6 core 13 k paps x86_64 0.6.6-17.fc6 updates 32 k poppler-qt x86_64 0.5.4-5.fc6 updates 29 k pygobject2 x86_64 2.12.3-1.fc6 updates 102 k twolame x86_64 0.3.9-1.fc6.rf dries 78 k wavpack x86_64 4.40-1.1.fc6 extras 115 k wxGTK x86_64 2.6.3-2.6.3.2.3.fc6 extras 3.5 M x264 x86_64 0.0.0-0.3.20061214.fc6.rf dries 418 k xorg-x11-drv-ast x86_64 0.81.0-3 core 24 k xorg-x11-drv-cirrus x86_64 1.1.0-2.fc6 core 42 k xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse x86_64 12.4.0-2.1 core 14 k xorg-x11-resutils x86_64 7.1-2.fc6 core 63 k xorg-x11-util-macros x86_64 1.0.2-4.fc6 core 8.2 k yum-metadata-parser x86_64 1.0.3-1.fc6 updates 23 k ========================================== Why are audit-libs, dbus, dbus-glib, glib2 libcap, libselinux and libsepol picking up the i386 version instead of the x86_64 version? Are they related somehow? I remember specifically deleting the dbus and the glib2 i386 stuff This is weird So far, it looks like it is updating everything else properly, but I wonder if these i368 stuff may conflict with the x86_64 libs -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| <a href="mailto:pepebuho@pananet.com">pepebuho@pananet.com</a> ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.
