I'm looking into this.
The original RHEL5 x86_64 had both perl.i386 and perl.x86_64. I know we had
left the perl.i386 in SL 5.2 because of this upgrade problem.
But with Update 3, there were several packages that changed arch, so I really
need to update the update page, with more than just the perl update. I'll be
doing that today. But for now, here is how to do it
1 - update files in your yum.repos.d directory
2 - yum clean all
3 - yum update yum
4 - yum remove perl.i386
5 - yum update glibc
6 - yum update
There will actually be 3 or 4 more steps because there are some other
packages that are troublesome. I'll reply to this when I have it done.
In case it isn't already on your list I'm seeing something odd with dbus,
on a fresh install of sl53 on x86_64 I seem to get an old version of
dbus.i386 because the latest version (which seems to be in the x86_64
tree) clashes over a config file...
This doesn't make sense to me. Where are you getting an "old" version
of dbus? They are both the same in the x86_64 directory
x86_64/SL/dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.i386.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-devel-1.1.2-12.el5.i386.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-devel-1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-0.73-8.el5.i386.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-0.73-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-devel-0.73-8.el5.i386.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-devel-0.73-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-libs-1.1.2-12.el5.i386.rpm
x86_64/SL/dbus-libs-1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64.rpm
The installer doesn't just find some random old version of dbus from
somewhere.
