[CentOS] problem with centos 5.3 upgrade
Hi All, I'm running CentOS 5.3 x86, and recently my yum update isn't running as it should. It pops up with sub conflict messages for i386 packages, which I don't need - even though yum is downloading them. Due to this sub conflict messages, I'm not able to update/install my x86 packages, as the installation stops at the error message. Anybody, any idea how to come over this issue ? Thx Error log reported by yum: Transaction Summary ============================================================================== Install 12 Package(s) Update 68 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total size: 136 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psvn.el from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/man/man1/svn.1.gz from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/man/man1/svnadmin.1.gz from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/man/man1/svnlook.1.gz from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/man/man5/svnserve.conf.5.gz from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/man/man8/svnserve.8.gz from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/psvn.el from install of subversion-1.6.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5.i386 file /usr/share/man/man1/xdelta.1.gz from install of xdelta-1.1.4-1.el5.rf.x86_64 conflicts with file from package xdelta-1.1.3-20.i386 Error Summary ------------- ********************************* This message and any attachments (the "message") are confidential and intended solely for the addressees.

Give RPMForge a lower priority than you have for Base and Updates. If you are also using EPEL, I suggest you give that a much lower priority, or it will replace a *lot* of packages on your box. GL

The thing is that CentOS (and upstream) includes in the 64-bit repository both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same package for some packages that include libraries, as it is the case with the subversion package. However, RPMforge has the policy of including only the 64-bit version of packages in the 64-bit repository. That way, when you try to update subversion, it will try to update the 64-bit version to version 1.6 (from RPMforge), but it will have no way of upgrading the 32-bit version that is already installed (32-bit RPM from CentOS 64-bit repository), so that will generate a conflict. As I believe you don't need subversion 32-bit installed and only the 64-bit version should be enough, I believe the easiest fix for you is: # rpm -e subversion.i386 # rpm -e xdelta.i386 After that is done, "yum update" should behave as expected.
