Thanks to Will and Bart for the help so far.
'yum deplist' on the list of installed packages revealed many
cases in which both x86_64 and i[356]86 packages provide the same
dependency. Example:
package: gdbm.x86_64 1.8.0-24
dependency: libc.so.6()(64bit)
provider: glibc.x86_64 2.3.4-2.25
dependency: /sbin/ldconfig
provider: glibc.i686 2.3.4-2.25 <<==============
provider: glibc.x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 <<==============
dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
provider: glibc.x86_64 2.3.4-2.25
Note that both glibc.i686 and glibc.x86_64 are installed on my
machine.
I'm sorry if this is a newbie question - but how do I proceed
from here?
Shouldn't I try to remove the i686 package provided that all its
dependencies are satisfied by the x86_64 package as above?
Thanks,
Itay
