It would be very helpful, if you really spent a minute to run repoquery --whatrequires libperl.so on an x86_64 machine. In short: There are other multiarch packages in the x86_64, which depend on the i686 Perl library. Hence you may be able to remove perl-libs.i686 from an x86_64 system, but not from the repo, since the multiarch compose tool ("mash") adds it to the repo to satisfy dependencies. The original mistake is that perl.i686 no longer is dragged in, but still available in the Fedora 13 release repo (aka "everything"). -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
