Description of problem: In recent updates I used '--obsoletes' flag and yum found that I had on a system 'fam-2.6.10-11.i386' about which I forgot when switching x86_64 related packages to gamin replacements. That is fine but when showing what is going to do yum printed: [o] fam.i386 0:2.6.10-11 - gamin.x86_64 0:0.0.12-1 This seems to be actually cosmetics, although a bit confusing, because when I later checked update results then I found that I have on a system gamin-0.0.12-1.i386 gamin-0.0.12-1.x86_64 gamin-devel-0.0.12-1.x86_64 Still when finishing the whole transaction yum dumped on my screen a mysterious: [o] fam.i386 0:2.6.10-11 - gamin.x86_64 0:0.0.12-1 [o] fam.i386 0:2.6.10-11 - gamin.x86_64 0:0.0.12-1 [o] fam.i386 0:2.6.10-11 - gamin.x86_64 0:0.0.12-1 ??? The last two were really in one line (which may not show up when reformatted by bugzilla). Debugging leftovers? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.1.4-1 How reproducible: Difficult to check once updates were done.
This should be better in newer versions of yum.
