I am now just starting to administer x86_64 arch boxen and not finding much info (or rather a lot of very sparce info) after Googling around on what the pros and cons are of having a "pure" x86_64 system vs. installing a mix with i?86 packages. So while yum is blameless here, I thought that the package obsoletes were the bug here. Or is the only con here wasted disk space? /Mike -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
