For some reason all the perl man pages cause yum errors like
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/c2ph.1.gz from install of perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.2.x86_64 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.1.i386
- I don't really see how the man pages can cause conflicts;
- More importantly, how should I deal with this?
Simply because both packages contain several identical (as in filepath) files... You try to install two versions of the perl package at the same time. You have an old i386 version and try to install a newer x86_64. I think I would remove the old i386 version and install the newer x86_64.
