Not if its a multi-lib problem.  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).


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.
