# rpm -q uuid-devel

Running Transaction Test
Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/bin/uuid-config from install of uuid-devel-1.6.1-10.el6.i686 conflicts with file from package uuid-devel-1.6.1-10.el6.x86_64

uuid-devel.x86_64 and uuid-devel.i686 should be installable together.

Alternatively, they should conflict with each other.

Either way, the installation shouldn't fail in the transaction checking phase.

Comment 4 Michal Hlavinka 2013-02-26 16:25:04 UTC
There is no way how to make them install and work. This build flags script, does not know if flags for 32bit build or 64bit build are needed. It does not have usable interface for this. So the conflict it will be.

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:55:12 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 unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
