I tend to agree. --skip-broken would first need to recognize something as "broken", such as a dep that cannot be resolved. Only then it would exclude the package and try to resolve deps again. The typical case where an update on x86_64 pulls in lots of unwanted i686 packages is when an update "takes away" something that is still needed by other [installed] packages. The depsolver finds [possibly older] i686 packages that still provide the needed things and can be used to resolve the non-arch-specific deps. -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.4.3-1.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.14 0.48 0.56 -- 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?
