Yum exhibits the same dependency errors because it does not accept the 'nodeps' argument. I will supply the version of rpm being used when back in the office. It is the latest version found in CentOS 6.4. Jason Sent from my Android. |

Hi Jason, Shouldn't you be using yum, that's what its for ie installs/upgrades whilst automatically taking care of dependencies? Cheers Chris Moden From: Jason Henderson <jasonhen@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, 5 November 2013 5:19 AM Subject: rpm update on multilib system ignores duplicate package name with different arch on command line I have a Linux distro (based on CentOS) which contains both i686 and x86_64 versions of some rpm packages. In the example below I want to upgrade the installed glibc.i686, glibc.x86_64 and glibc-common.i686 packages at the same time. As shown the rpm command ignores the glibc.x86_64 package when glibc.i686 proceeds it in the list of packages to upgrade. The end result being that the glibc.x86_64 package is removed from the system. If I omit the --nodeps option in the command there are many dependency errors produced since the command is effectively removing the required glibc.x86_64 package. I can reinstall the required glibc.x86_64 package manually but my end goal is to be able to omit the --nodeps option to get a proper dependency check and have the i686 and x86_64 packages upgraded
correctly at the same time. My question is, should rpm handle this case or is such a multilib upgrade not supported? Example: [root@64-bit]# rpm -qa | grep glibc glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64 glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.i686 glibc-common-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.i686 [root@64-bit]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps glibc-common-2.12-1.107.el6_4.5.i686.rpm glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.5.i686.rpm glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.5.x86_64.rpm nscd-2.12-1.107.el6_4.5.i686.rpm warning: glibc-common-2.12-1.107.el6_4.5.i686.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c105b9de: NOKEY warning: package glibc = 2.12-1.107.el6_4.5 was already added, skipping glibc = 2.12-1.107.el6_4.5 Preparing... 1:glibc [ 33%] 2:glibc-common [ 67%] 3:nscd [100%] [root@64-bit]# rpm -qa | grep glibc glibc-common-2.12-1.107.el6_4.5.i686 glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.5.i686 Thanks.
