Hi,

I have the x86_64 arch on my server so therfore i expect that yum updates only x86_64 packages. With the last *yum update* i´ve noticed a strange behaviour while retrieving the needed packeges. As you you see, yum wants install packages for different architectures:

glibc x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 base 4.9 M glibc i686 2.3.4-2.25 base 5.1 M . . . dmraid i386 1.0.0.rc11-3_RHEL4_U4 base 396 k

and the list continues. This ends with an bunch of unresolved dependencies. ################################# My yum.conf: [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=centos-release tolerant=1 #exclude=kernel* exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1

How can be this possible? Thanks in advance,

dmraid.i386 will normally be installed ... x86_64 contains both i386/i686 and x86_64 packages.

If you don't have any i386/i686 packages now you can add this to your /etc/yum.conf file:

exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686

To see if you have any i386 / i686 packages do this ...

1. Add this line to a file called .rpmmacros in your home directory:

%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}

2. Run this from the commandline:

rpm -qa | grep i[3,5,6]86 | sort

Hi Johnny,

thank you for your quick reply. Here comes the list:

That is a fairly mimimal set of packages ... you can probably leave them and update ... you could probably also remove them all as well.

The only thing that you might need is dmraid ... but I doubt you are using that. If you are not, you can rpm -e all those packages and add the exclude rule to prevent them from coming back.

Make sure to use the .i386 when removing packages.

Yes, i´m using RAID 1, therfore i might need that one...

dmraid is not md stuff, it only privides some forms of fakeraid support for some devices... are you really sure you need it ?

Well, i´m not quite sure...:/
