Description Robert Greimel 2007-08-29 08:05:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
update of gchempaint using yum fails

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.6.9-1.fc7 (installed), 0.8.2-2.fc7 (to be installed)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum update gchempaint
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error, see attached file

Expected results:
update of package

Additional info:
A workaround is

yum remove gchempaint
Removing:
 gchempaint              i386       0.6.9-1.fc7      installed         2.0 M
 gchempaint              x86_64     0.6.9-1.fc7      installed         2.1 M

yum install gchempaint
Installing:
 gchempaint              i386       0.6.9-1.fc7      fedora            955 k
 gchempaint              x86_64     0.8.2-2.fc7      updates           1.4 M
Installing for dependencies:
 goffice04               x86_64     0.4.2-1.fc7      updates           1.5 M
 libgsf-gnome            x86_64     1.14.3-4.fc7     fedora             14 k

Interestingly this shows that the i386 package is not updated to the newest
version. Maybe that is the problem ?
Further yum install gchempaint output:

yum error for package update
Comment 2 Julian Sikorski 2007-08-29 09:42:14 UTC 
Hmm, yep. The problem is caused by the fact that 0.6.9 is multilib, while 0.8.2
is not, hence the conflicts. I'll investigate.
Comment 3 Julian Sikorski 2007-09-03 13:12:53 UTC 
There is a simpler way to do that. Just run yum erase gchempaint.i386 prior to
the  update, that should do it. IMHO, yum shouldn't pull i386 arch of a package
unless asked, that way such problems would be avoided.

OK. Just note that at no point did I ask yum to install the i386 version. It did
this at the initial install (which either was at Fedora install time or right
afterwards using the package manager - I don't remember) and also when I
re-installed it.
Comment 5 Julian Sikorski 2007-09-03 14:08:47 UTC 
Agreed. Yum installs every single arch of a package by default. Such decision
was made by yum devs.
