Package `gdb' is not a multilib package. Its i386 variant should not exist on x86_64 system, please type: rpm -e gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386 It is probably some relict of an upgrade from FC-6 (gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386), `yum' is known to have some biarch (i386<->x86_64) issues. Unaware about pup/pirut and how this could happen. If it is not an administration mistake it is a `pup' Bug. I did upgrade my machine from FC6 to Fedora 8 recently. After following your suggestion and removing the i386 variant of gdb, the pup completed the upgrade successfully. Thank you Jan! This is fixed for me. I don't know whether it is still a bug in pup or not. I'll let the experts decide that! PS. If this kind of thing happens again with other packages, how will I know whether I should remove the i386 variant? (I don't want to break anything.) How did you upgrade FC6->F8? Was that FC6 formerly an i386 (32-bit) installations? This answer decides whether this Bug should be closed/reassigned. You should remove all the i?86 packages, they make no sense on x86_64 system unless you know you unlikely need them for compatibility with an i386 binary application. I upgraded from FC6 to F8 using an ordinary DVD spin, downloaded soon after release. I chose to upgrade rather than do a clean reinstall of Fedora. I have always had the 64-bit version of Fedora on this machine, although my FC6 install did have some packages that were duplicated for i?86 as well as x86_64. Thanks for the advice about ditching the 32 bit packages, Jan. I'll check for 32-bit apps first and then they're for the chop, methinks. I see FC6 really had gdb.i386 (that was a mistake). FC6 had (in updates): gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386 gdb-6.5-15.fc6.x86_64 and F8 has only: gdb-6.6-35.fc8.x86_64 Anaconda upgrade left there conflicting: gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386 gdb-6.6-35.fc8.x86_64 This is wrong, multilib rpms no longer present in the new repo must be removed. I had bugreports from friends of mine on this kind of multilib problem before. Added gdb to the multilib upgrade remove list |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071126 Fedora/2.0.0.10-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.10 Description of problem: Some of the files from the 64-bit update (gdb-6.6-36.fc8.x86_64) conflict with the existing 32-bit version (gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386). This prevents the update from happening. Error message pasted from pup: see Actual Results section. (Incidentally, this failed update also stops any other updates from working, too - unless the offending package is de-selected - might that be worth spawning a separate bug report?) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdb-6.6-36.fc8.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.pup informs me that an update is available. 2.I type in the root password and select the update for gdb. 3.The update downloads and pup tries to update it. Actual Results: "Error updating software There were errors encountered in trying to update the software you selected Details file /usr/bin/gcore from install of gdb-6.6-36.fc8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386 file /usr/share/info/annotate.info.gz from install of gdb-6.6-36.fc8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386 file /usr/share/info/gdb.info.gz from install of gdb-6.6-36.fc8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386 file /usr/share/info/gdbint.info.gz from install of gdb-6.6-36.fc8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386 file /usr/share/info/stabs.info.gz from install of gdb-6.6-36.fc8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gdb-6.5-15.fc6.i386" Expected Results: The software should update successfully. Additional info: Package details for gdb, as given by pup: ID FEDORA-2007-3057 Type bugfix Status stable Issued 2007-11-17 05:38:07 Updated Description Fix displaying `errno' even for non-threaded inferiors.
