I've had this happen after upgrades before and, while getting rid of multi-lib versions can help reduce the reported count it's not the real problem (you should be able to have 32 and 64bit versions of most things except applications installed). What it usually is is that some package has been obsoleted by Fedora, but not removed by the upgrade, and it's sitting on your system requiring an old version of a package that still exists. I don't know a good way to fix this automatically (especially as sometimes you want to keep it, e.g. volume mixer controls for which there is no longer a good alternative in the repos, and some packages which are current will still have older fcXX in their name due to not having changed). The thing to do is trace back dependencies on packages that are complaining about duplicates and find out what fc1-fc15 package is sitting at the top of that tree and whether it still exists in Fedora. -- imalone -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
