Why should yum > even consider this? As Seth said, yum is just doing what it was told it could. As a good example of this, if foo.i386 required bash ... you wouldn't want it to actually require bash.i386. Saying that with RHEL-6.1 yum now also has a protected_multilib configuration, and if that is on (default) it refuses to do things like this (have foo.i386 and foo.x86_64 at different versions). -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
