Thanks. What you wrote led me to a google search which resulted in this link: https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2005-August/007269.html

which had a line to do a yum exclude which allowed me to get it to fly. It's now going thru 171 packages.... w00T...

wait!

dont just add that line in there, first make sure you yum erase all your 32bit apps and rpm's ( yum erase *.i386 *.i586 *.i686 ), otherwise you are going to leave behind a large number of orphaned rpm's.

if you need those 32bit apps, consider just excluding the fontconfig.i386 rpm. its a problem known since early 4.0 release days :(

Or do rpm -e --justdb --nodeps fontconfig
