I have installed some more i686 rpms and now I get the Lexmark
installer to run. It still fails however and I get a message about not
being able to load module "canberra-gtk-module". So...
 
# yum search canberra | grep i686
libcanberra-devel.i686 : Development Files for libcanberra Client
Development libcanberra-gtk2.i686 : Gtk+ Bindings for libcanberra
libcanberra.i686 : Portable Sound Event Library

# yum install libcanberra.i686
...lots of dependent packages to install
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error:  Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
       cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
       pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
       
         1. You have an upgrade for tcp_wrappers-libs which is missing some
            dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
            solve this by installing an older version of tcp_wrappers-libs of the
            different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
            yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
            requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
            --exclude tcp_wrappers-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error
            message showing the root cause of the problem.
       
         2. You have multiple architectures of tcp_wrappers-libs installed, but
            yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
            If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
            can remove the one with the missing update and everything
            will work.
       
         3. You have duplicate versions of tcp_wrappers-libs installed already.
            You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
       
       ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
       this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
       do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
       much more problems).
       
       Protected multilib versions: tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-57.el6.i686 != tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-57.el6.test.x86_64
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I can't remove tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-57.el6.test.x86_64 because too much depends on it.
