If you aren't short on disc space I would say, just let them live. Otherwise a very fast way of removing them is to smart remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is some discussion with various recipes to remove i386 packages in bugzilla.atrpms.net, I just don't remember what the bug was about. :/
Thanks, Axel. It is not difficult to remove the i386 versions. I have removed some of them, but since I think I need firefox 32 for having a working set of proprietary plugins, a lot of them must remain. I am trying to install only ATrpms packages this time, and the only conflict I got so far was with libmp4v2-1.5.0.1-3.fc6.x86_64.rpm from extras, wich has been installed first because of some package, and conflicted with libmp4v2_0-1.25-2.fc6.at.x86_64.rpm. I removed the later using --nodeps and yours replaced it. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
