It could happen that during package installation, some %post or %postun scripts fail because the 32-bit counterpart has been deleted before the corresponding 64-bit one has been put into place. *Generally*, if you load rpm into memory (e.g. by executing it) and let it handle all packages in one transaction, you might upgrade to 64-bit, but it's usually not worth the hassle. Better reinstall. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
