[CentOS] i386 and x86_64 packages on an 64bit system after fresh install - why?
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,
G?tz
