Re: [CentOS] Need help resolving yum update issues on mixed architecture system
From: Alfred von Campe alf...@von-campe.com I have been using 32-bit CentOS since the 4.X days without a real need for 64-bit, but in preparation for CentOS 7, I have installed 64-bit CentOS 6 on a test system to qualify all our builds. However, in order to build some of our current 32-bit applications, I had to install some i686 packages, including glib. Now when I try to do a yum update on this test system, I get the dreaded Error: Multilib version problems found. issue. I have tried following the instructions from yum (--exclude=glib.i686, yum check, etc.) to resolve this to no avail. What is the best way to proceed with the yum update so that all (64-bit and 32-bit) packages are updated? Maybe try 'protected_multilib' in yum.conf (see man).

Upon closer inspection, the issue was with glib from rpmforge, so doing a yum update --disablerepo=rpmforge\* makes it work.

I've never had trouble doing it via yum, like: yum install glibc.i686 That's exactly what I did, and it worked fine (I can compile our 32-bit apps), but I get the error when I try to do the yum update. but then, I've only done this on centos 6 So have I. I only mentioned CentOS 7 because it was supposed to be 64-bit only (but now it seems that the CentOS team is working on an i686 release for CentOS 7).

Re: [CentOS] Need help resolving yum update issues on mixed architecture system
What is the best way to proceed with the yum update so that all (64-bit and 32-bit) packages are updated? I usually check the dependency error and will install the missing 32bit package alone ( one time task ), then will try yum update . I think, rpm/repo compose file decides the dependency 32bit package. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
