Trying to remove a package with yum, there would be a confirmation prompt. Alternatively, old-school RPM usage rpm --test --erase openssl-libs.i686 to show existing dependencies. > Even more confusing: > yum erase openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686 reports: No Match for > argument: openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686 but > yum erase openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19 shows all x86_64 , nothing for i686 > find -name 'openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686' = no results > yum search openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686 = no results > locate openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686 = no results These are strange commands. Typically, you would use "yum list openssl-libs" or "rpm -q openssl-libs", and the find/locate commands are very strange. The output of "rpm -qa openssl\*" might be interesting. Also, you are still at -36 of the openssl packages, and -37 is the update to be installed. Full Yum output tells whether anything strictly depends on -36.fc19.x86_64 and blocks the x86_64 update from getting installed. Sometimes it's a strict dependency, in other cases it's a duplicate install of some package. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
