Well, perhaps not as well as I would prefer. There are a lot of file conflicts reported by yum update that obviously are related to the rpm for the "other" architecture. For example: dbus-0.62-0.2.fc5.x86_64. 100% |=========================| 17 kB 00:00 ---> Package dbus.x86_64 0:0.62-0.2.fc5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Updating: dbus x86_64 0.62-0.2.fc5 updates 650 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 0 Package(s) Update 1 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 650 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/1): dbus-0.62-0.2.fc5. 100% |=========================| 650 kB 00:02 Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/dbus-daemon.1.gz from install of dbus-0.62-0.2.fc5 conflicts with file from package dbus-0.61-3 There are MANY of those. How do I avoid those "conflicts" so that the update can proceed?
