I updated a couple of servers from mostly-up-to-date RHEL 5.3 to the

On a 32 bit server, yum wanted to add amanda (backup software). �On a 64
bit server, yum wanted to add KDE, GTK, Ruby, and a whole bunch more (on
a server without X installed).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
I had something similar happen to me several months ago. I could not
figure out why "yum update" was bringing X as a dependency for an
update. Like many mysterious yum issues, I was able to clear it up by
running "yum clean all" and then running the update again.
I've started wondering why yum has started to offer to install 32-bit
stuff on my pure 64-bit Tikanga clone. It happened yesterday when I
wanted to install expect, but not today when I tried to reproduce it
with emacs. It's quite possible it's something I've done. It's also
quite possible it's not something I've done.
If others report similar experiences, I can stop wondering.
