this happened to me when i upgraded centos4x86_64 to centos5i386. it was fixed by putting explicitly i386 on repo files, and yum clean, and removing whatever files in /var/cache/yum mention x86_64. but may be a false positive :) <div>2007/5/21, Michal Jaegermann <<a href="mailto:michal@harddata.com">michal@harddata.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Mon, May 21, 2007 at 03:12:30PM +0200, Niels Weber wrote: > 2007/5/21, Neal Becker <<a href="mailto:ndbecker2@gmail.com">ndbecker2@gmail.com</a>>: > >I have several x86_64 with current rawhide.

If you do not plan to even install x86 packages then putting such exclude into your yum configuration could be an option. > I agree that it is a bit annoying. Additionally for some unclear, to me, reasons this is not even always consistent. Sometimes it will not try to grab extra packages even when '.x86_64' specification was forgotten.
