I've been upgrading from v51 to v54. I've followed the procedure on
http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.5x which
simply states:
• yum clean all
• rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/misc/RPMS/yum-conf-latest.SL.noarch.rpm
• yum update yum
• yum update
piece of cake.
The procedure works fine on my i386 machines, but on the x68_64 machines the
yum update fails with
hundreds of errors that look like...
...
file /usr/share/man/man3/strict.3pm.gz from install of
perl-5.8.8-27.el5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.i386
file /usr/share/man/man3/utf8.3pm.gz from install of perl-5.8.8-27.el5.x86_64
conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.i386
...
It looks like the upgrade is trying to move me from x86_64 to i386. is there a
different yum-conf that I should
be using? Help appreciated.
