So...am I the only one who regularly runs into trouble trying to follow
rawhide on x86-64? Recent example: an update just failed with:
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man5/ldap.conf.5.gz from install of openldap-2.2.28-2 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.2.26-1
...and so on. The problem is always conflicts between the x86-64 and
i386 versions of packages.
Interestingly, if I do "yum update openldap", it will update the
package for both architectures, and the problem goes away.
Note that is a really /really/ nasty aspect of yum. It essentially
force installs (AFAICT) and clobbers the files which are in both
packages. Not a problem if they're arch-independent, but if the
packaging error is for an arch-dependent file on or other of the
arches will be broken.
I wish yum wouldn't do force installs, it makes me *very* nervous
about using yum on multi-arch machines.
