I am trying to update my Fedora FC17 system and I get an error trying to
update glib2. Here is some yum output that I think shows the situation
and the problem:

Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing it that there is a problem. Eg.:
1. You have an upgrade for glib2 which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of glib2 of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what).
2. You have multiple architectures of glib2 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 glib2 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: glib2-2.32.1-1.fc17.x86_64 !=
glib2-2.30.3-1.fc16.i686
Error: Protected multilib versions: glib2-devel-2.32.1-1.fc17.x86_64 !=
glib2-devel-2.30.3-1.fc16.i686
I have tried upgrade and received the same error.
If I try to remove these in order to start from scratch, many other
packages would be deleted which in unacceptable.
I have posted the error on the Fedora forum but have received no help there.
Thanks in advance for any help.
