'yum deplist' on the list of installed packages revealed many cases in which both x86_64 and i[356]86 packages provide the same dependency.
This information is probably not all that useful. Obviously the packages will provide the same dependency; that's (in part) why the packages have the same name aside from the architecture. In this example:
dependency: /sbin/ldconfig provider: glibc.i686 2.3.4-2.25 <<============== provider: glibc.x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 <<==============
If a 32-bit program were to try to link with the 64-bit glibc (or vice-versa), all sorts of problems would result. To remove glibc.i686, you'd have to be sure that there were NO other 32-bit packages on your system. I think what you're really looking for is the set of packages that appear in your previous rpm listing as duplicates, but that DO NOT appear in the deplist output at all. The packages that DO appear in the deplist are presumably those that you need to keep. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
