To All,
Thanks to the CentOS guys for 5.4; sure appreciate your work.
I have one question. I had to remove perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386 on two x86_64 machines in order to get perl.x86_64 4:5.8.8-27.el5 to update.
Does this represent a change from 5.3 to 5.4 and should I be concerned about the loss of perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386. So far I have not found anything broken.

I asked myself that same question, and when I reviewed my notes on the install I had some packages that would only work with perl.i386 which required me to install it. Unfortunately, I did not document what those packages were, and can not remember which ones required .i386 to test them. 5.0 through 5.3 allowed the install of both perls, but 5.4 does not. - Greg

The perl.i386 package was supposed to be in the x86_64 extras repository (as indicated in the Release Notes). However, it was missing. This has just been corrected:

Things should be back to normal again. :-)

I had this on my laptop also, removed the .i386 package and the update completed without complaint.

I don't remember why the .i386 package was installed here, but have noticed nothing broken since removing it and updating.
