Since doing "yum update" this morning, an update that installed several packages, the updater shows me 3 packages to install:
hpijs-1:3.12.4-4.el6_4.1 (x86_64) hplip-common-3.12.4-4.el6_4.1 (x86_64) hplip-libs-3.12.4-4.el6_4.1 (x86_64)
but when I attempt to actually run the update I get:
hplip-libs-3.12.4-4.el6.i686 requires libsane.so.1 hplip-libs-3.12.4-4.el6.i686 requires hplip-common = 3.12.4-4.el6 :
Success - empty transaction
this is a 64-bit computer running 6.4 x86_64, and none of these 3
packages
as installed is i686 they are all x86_64.
So, why would I be getting errors saying that the 32-bit packages have certain requirements that aren't being met? there are no such 32-bit packages on this computer.
# yum list installed | grep -y hplip-libs hplip-libs.x86_64 3.12.4-4.el6 @cr

No takers on this question?
One bit of added info: ALL of the SANE packages on the system are 64-bit.
why is it complaining of 32-bit dependency failures?
please don't top-post.
Of course you're right. thanks for the reminder.
you should provide more info to help people help you: repos configured including priorities, exact output of the yum command perhaps with some level of the -d switch.
OK, using -d 6 I get a ton of output, some of which may be enlightening to those who understand yum's insides.
The output around lines 108-111, and 125-134 seem interesting, in that's where it seems to go off the deep end looking for i686 packages instead of x86_64. I don't know why it would do that, but there must be a good reason.
Please note that I have NOT installed the "official" SANE packages from Centos, but rather those from Frank Cox's repo since he's rebuilt them to work with Canon LiDe scanners, which I have, and the Centos repo packages do not support. It's not clear to me that this would be related, but it seemed proper to divulge. (see a short thread in this list from Feb 2013 where both Frank and Akemi posted helpful info for this issue.)
Here's the output with numbered lines:

Where did you get this package, I believe it is looking for info related to this package but it is not in any .repo you have defined. HTH
# yum list installed | grep sane libsane-hpaio.x86_64 3.12.4-4.el6 @cr
so it came from the CR repo, apparently.
Ah, I think I fixed it. I had previously installed Frank Cox's EL6 sane-backends* RPMs but not (as I said above, erroneously) from a repo, I had added "exclude=*sane*" in /etc/yum.conf.
Your comment about how yum seems confused about where that package came from joggled my (somewhat flaky) memory, so I went back and changed the exclude to "exclude=sane-backends*" (since it was only the sane-backends packages I got from Frank) and now the update runs to completion.
Thanks for the mental prod!
