I assumed that the x86_64 part would straighten itself out.... But yes, he needs to ensure that all of his secondary libs are either all i586 or all i686 (where he has a choice between the two) and that they co-exist well with their x86_64 counterparts (which should be the primary concern anyways).</blockquote><div> Here's the output of `yum list installed glibc-common glibc`, for reference: <code> Installed Packages glibc.i686 2.10.1-2 installed glibc.x86_64 2.10.1-2 installed glibc-common.x86_64 2.10.1-2 installed </code> I tried `yum remove glibc.i686`, but it wants to remove 116 packages, for dependencies. Mostly, it looks like stuff I installed while getting Skype for Linux to run, so I'm pretty sure its going to break some things if I remove it all. Isn't this a packaging bug? There's no conflict between my currently-installed 'glibc.i686' and 'glib.x86_64' (2.10.1-2), although there is a conflict between the two archs' 'glibc-common' packages. -Ryan </div></div>
