The big thing was this: when they were in the Spacewalk repository, the query that Spacewalk did on its d/b got them uniquely. So when I told it to upgrade, it did it with those packages. Then, when I went to reboot, that failed coming back up, with the error "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c" repeated three or so times. As soon as I removed them from Spacewalk's d/b by deleting that package, the upgrade went fine. The explanation that led me to that was at <http://saalwaechter-notes.blogspot.com/2008/10/requestmodule-runaway-loop-modprobe.html> So, my thinking is that the i386 libs are fine, as you mentioned, but that the 686's try to *replace* the x86_64 ones, and then it croaks. mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
