[CentOS] i386 version of Perl getting installed on x64 system?
I am trying to install: perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Digest-Perl-MD5 perl-Net-DNS perl-Time-HiRes perl-Email-Valid perl-File-ReadBackwards perl-File-Scan-ClamAV perl-Mail-SPF-Query perl-libwww-perl perl-LDAP perl-Unix-Syslog perl-Mail-SRS perl-Net-CIDR-Lite perl-Mail-SPF which are all either noarch or x86_64 rpms yet it wants to install perl i386 version? I could ask on rf list but it wont let me subscribe so that's of no help:/ Is there an obvious reason for this, or another bizarre erroneous dependency issue? Thanks! jlc

In other words, can you install perl-LDAP without it wanting to pull in the 32-bit perl? Same for all of them... You can also do an rpm -q -R -p <rpm> on the .rpm file to see what it requires, but I'm not sure if that will tell us anything particularly useful. Have you tried the rpmforge IRC channel? Ray
