I was finally, after a couple of days of trying able to update my x86_64 FC6t2 installation, but only after doing: rpm -e nautilus-2.15.4-3.i386 nautilus-cd-burner-2.15.4-3.i386 control-center-2.15.4-6.i386 totem-1.5.91-2.fc6.i386 gnome-media-2.14.2-6.i386 I kept getting messages about nautilus-2.15.4-3 depending on files that would be updated by the new x86_64 nautilus the update was trying to install (but there was no new i386 nautilus to go along with it). Why on earth would things like nautilus and totem and control center need or want i386 versions on an x86_64 system? I can see needing i386 libraries, but these things aren't libraries, they are utility programs. I didn't do anything special to ask for all this i386 stuff. I just installed from the DVD and selected everything except all the extra language packages, then tried to update the system, and got errors with all these conflicting i386 packages (and there are a lot more where the ones above came from, those are just the one I had to remove to get through the update). I know there is some undocumented mystic secret handshake that goes on underneath the covers in the rpm stuff somewhere that is supposed to make i386 and x86_64 conflicts "just work", but clearly, for updates, it doesn't "just work" if the repos aren't consistent, and the more i386 stuff there is, the bigger chance the repos won't be consistent. In fact, the odds of doing an update at a moment in time when the repos are consistent approach zero :-(. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
