I see this in my cron output from last night:
Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
1. You have an upgrade for sip which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of sip of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
--exclude sip.otherarch ... this should give you an error
message showing the root cause of the problem.
2. You have multiple architectures of sip installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.
3. You have duplicate versions of sip installed already.
You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
much more problems).
Protected multilib versions: sip-4.14.4-1.fc17.x86_64 != sip-4.13.2-1.fc17.i686
And if it is gonna spew out a big spiel like this, shouldn't it mention
that actual cause of 99.999999% of all multilib problems: The 32 and
64 bit versions are not in sync in the repos and if you wait a bit, they'll
be back in sync again.
