 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Why is trying to compare an x68_64 version and an i686 version?

There is something weird either in yum or in your repository settings. Note that Bugzilla is not a support tool and please contact your Red Hat support at access.redhat.com to get the service you pay for.

Comment 4 Suzanne Logcher 2012-02-14 23:25:03 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Seems like a broken rpm db. I am able to run update/install wireshark.

wireshark-1.2.15-2.el6_2.1.x86_64
