And it is not bind. Try another one, java: --> Running transaction check ---> Package java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.8.0.111-2.b15.el7_3 will be a downgrade --> Processing Dependency: java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless = 1:1.8.0.111-2.b15.el7_3 for package: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-2.b15.el7_3.x86_64 ---> Package java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.8.0.121-0.b13.el7_3 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-2.b15.el7_3.x86_64 (updates) Requires: java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless = 1:1.8.0.111-2.b15.el7_3 Installed: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.121-0.b13.el7_3.x86_64 (@updates) java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless = 1:1.8.0.121-0.b13.el7_3 Available: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.102-4.b14.el7.i686 (base) <= ??? why does this i686 arch try to force its way in? Each time. It smells like something fundamental. Could it be that yum repos are somehow broken. Being a long time ex-user of Scientific I remember I never had seen anything similar. Downgrading samba after a buggy update saved me a few times. Would be really good to know that we Centosians can rely on yum/dnf downgrade. b.w.
