Hello, on my f23 workstation I see: ======= Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/libexec/getconf/default from install of gcc-5.3.1-6.fc23.i686 conflicts with file from package gcc-5.3.1-6.fc23.x86_64 ======= Seems to happen on rawhide too: ======= Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/libexec/getconf/default from install of gcc-6.1.1-2.fc25.i686 conflicts with file from package gcc-6.1.1-2.fc25.x86_64 =======
That is completely intentional. From gcc subpackages, generally, lib* except for libstdc++-docs and libgcj-src packages are multilib, all others are not, and only go for the primary architecture. So, if gcc.i686 appears in the Fedora x86_64 repo, it is either a rel-eng bug, or a bug in whatever package contains some bogus dependencies.
Understood. One can hit this with default configuration when attempting to install it explicitly with `dnf install gcc.i686`. It's in the repo: ======= # yumdownloader gcc.i686 --urls ... https://mirror.umd.edu/fedora/linux/updates/23/x86_64/g/gcc-5.3.1-6.fc23.i686.rpm # ======= Maybe it might get removed. Or this bug just closed, sorry :-) Will try what relengs say when it's already on the table.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Not a GCC bug.
