It's a subpackage and these are supposed to have release-grained dependencies. The problem stems from the fact that the 32bit version is looking to get installed, but the 64bit version is -3 and yum won't downgrade from the -3 you have to the -2 in the repos. The `--allow-downgrades' flag in yum (also may need a plugin, I forget) or grabbing the correct version from koji should help. --Ben -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
