Re: [CentOS] Yum installed perl on CentOS 5.11 64 bit

From: Niamh Holding niamh@fullbore.co.uk

Is 4:perl-5.8.8-43.el5_11.x86_64 really dependent on the 32 bit perl.i386 4:5.8.8-43.el5_11 as yum is suggesting, or has something got mixed up on the system?

yum install perl Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Setting up Install Process Package 4:perl-5.8.8-43.el5_11.x86_64 already installed and latest version Resolving Dependencies

• --> Running transaction check
• ---> Package perl.i386 4:5.8.8-43.el5_11 set to be updated
• --> Finished Dependency Resolution

It says "set to be updated", so the i386 version was already installed... no?

grep exactarch /etc/yum.conf
