At present I'm setting up several CentOS (4 and 4.4) machines, and in the process of installing the several updates that are automatically mentioned by up2date as being available, I'm running into a package conflict.
This sort of thing is common on multi-arch systems. Is this an x86_64 box?
More particular, when trying to install several of the C compiler related packages (like gcc, cpp, etc.) I get the error message: "Test install failed because of package conflicts: The following packages were added to your selection to satisfy dependencies: (name) libtool (version) 1.5.6 (release) 4.EL4.c4.4 package libtool-1.5.6-4.EL4.1.c4.4 is already installed"
After answering the above question, is the package it's trying to install here for x86 or x86_64?
Now.... this seems to be somewhat of what we call over here a "chicken-and-egg-problem", IOW, in order to resolve it libtool should be added, yet when adding it, libtool is already installed and causes the conflict; so which to solve first :P Can anyone let me know how I can manually solve this problem (note that libtool was not offered as a selectable package, but rather is enforced when trying to install e.g. gcc)?
Multi-arch systems get interesting when you start installing development tools. Can you provide us a wee bit more detail as to what system you're running, which version of centos, and any extra repositories you might have enabled (rpmforge, atrpms). -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
