Hi, I recetly set up a brand new fres Centos 5.4 64 bit system and found a lot of i386 packages installed along with the x86_64 packages. My questions: Why is this done? May I remove the i386 packages? (rpm -e ....) I wanted to update today the installed packages and do get some dep messages: --> Finished Dependency Resolution glibc-2.5-42.i686 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-42 is needed by package glibc-2.5-42.i686 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-42 is needed by package glibc-2.5-42.i686 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package. Thanks for any suggestion and best regards, Götz -- Götz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax +49 7141 969 55 420 E-Mail goetz.reinicke at filmakademie.de Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH Akademiehof 10 71638 Ludwigsburg www.filmakademie.de Eintragung Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 205016 Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Prof. Dr. Claudia Hübner Staatsrätin für Demographischen Wandel und für Senioren im Staatsministerium Geschäftsführer: Prof. Thomas Schadt
