If the man pages are the only conflict, will an rpm install with --excludedocs let it install?On Sun, Jul 06, 2008 at 09:55:03AM -0600, Joseph L.

You need to specify the packages like this: yum install <package_name>.x86_64 not yum install <package_name> If you do not specify, then yum can install both (or either) of i386 or x86_64 packages to meet that requirement.I think I found the offending package, I'll jump on the rf irc channel and see what I can make of this: # yum list *HiRes* Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile <snip> 257 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Available Packages perl-Time-HiRes.x86_64 1.9715-1.el5.rf rpmforge perl-Time-HiRes-Value.noarch 0.05-1.el5.rf rpmforge # yum install perl-Time-HiRes.x86_64 Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile <snip> 257 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl.i386 4:5.8.8-10.el5_2.3 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libgdbm.so.2 for package: perl --> Running transaction check ---> Package gdbm.i386 0:1.8.0-26.2.1 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: perl i386 4:5.8.8-10.el5_2.3 extras 12 M Installing for dependencies: gdbm i386 1.8.0-26.2.1 base 27 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 2 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 12 M Is this ok [y/N]:Just to muddy the waters on this a bit more... for me, the rpmforge perl-Time-HiRes package won't install as it conflicts with my base installation of perl. This is on a RHEL5.2 x86_64 system however. # rpm -qf --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Time/HiRes.pm perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.x86_64 So it seems HiRes is already provided by perl, although the actual file that conflicts is a man page. (This is why I generally avoid rpmforge if I can :) Ray
