Description of problem: yum fails to update with error: Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.: 1. You have an upgrade for qpid-cpp-client which is missing some dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to solve this by installing an older version of qpid-cpp-client of the different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with --exclude qpid-cpp-client.otherarch ... this should give you an error message showing the root cause of the problem. 2. You have multiple architectures of qpid-cpp-client installed, but yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures. If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you can remove the one with the missing update and everything will work. 3. You have duplicate versions of qpid-cpp-client installed already. You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors. ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing much more problems). Protected multilib versions: qpid-cpp-client-0.18-6.fc18.i686 != qpid-cpp-client-0.24-3.fc18.1.x86_64 Error: Protected multilib versions: qpid-qmf-0.18-6.fc18.i686 != qpid-qmf-0.24-3.fc18.1.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qpid-cpp-client-0.18-6.fc18.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update 2. 3. Actual results: Yum update fails Expected results: Yum update succeeds Additional info: Tried to un-install qpid-cpp-client etc and re-install, but same error
Please also uninstall qpid-qmf and re-install. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1010999 ***
