Hi,

This may be by design or there may be a reason for it which I don't know.

In the x86_64 repository for CentOS 6.4, the i686 version of these packages below are not up to date. This causes yum to complain about 'Protected multilib versions'.

• iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.873-2.el6
• iscsi-initiator-utils-devel-6.2.0.873-2
• control-center-filesystem-2.28.1-38

There may be others but these are the three I had to fix manually on my system.

I just downloaded the i686 versions from the i386 repository which seem to work fine.

John.

If you look here:

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0438.html

You will see no i686 RPMs for iscsi in the x86_64 tree there, where as the i686 iscsi packages that you mention (iscsi-initiator-utils and iscsi-initiator-utils-devel), were on the upstream isos for EL 6.0. So, for some reason, upstream as decided to remove the i686 packages from the x86_64 tree and we followed suit. We did it more for repo closure purposes than following the upstream tree.

For control-center-filesystem.i686, I can not find that on any upstream x86_64 isos (so we should likely not have had it there in the first place), but it is not in the x86_64 tree here:

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2012-0950.html

So, the packages being removed is the current upstream state, and is likely where we ought to be.
