I have been using 32-bit CentOS since the 4.X days without a real need for 64-bit, but in preparation for CentOS 7, I have installed 64-bit CentOS 6 on a test system to qualify all our builds. However, in order to build some of our current 32-bit applications, I had to install some i686 packages, including glib.
Now when I try to do a "yum update" on this test system, I get the dreaded "Error: Multilib version problems found." issue. I have tried following the instructions from yum (--exclude=glib.i686, yum check, etc.) to resolve this to no avail. What is the best way to proceed with the "yum update" so that all (64-bit and 32-bit) packages are updated?
Thanks, Alfred

how did you do these installs? I've never had trouble doing it via yum, like: yum install glibc.i686
but then, I've only done this on centos 6

That's exactly what I did, and it worked fine (I can compile our 32-bit apps), but I get the error when I try to do the "yum update".

So have I. I only mentioned CentOS 7 because it was supposed to be 64-bit only (but now it seems that the CentOS team is working on an i686 release for CentOS 7).

I usually check the dependency error and will install the missing 32bit package alone ( one time task ), then will try yum update . I think, rpm/repo compose file decides the dependency 32bit package.

Maybe try 'protected_multilib' in yum.conf (see man).

Thanks for the hint. Upon closer inspection, the issue was with glib from rpmforge, so doing a "yum update --disablerepo=rpmforge*" makes it work.
