Description of problem: The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of glibc can't coexist because they both contain /usr/share/doc/glibc/NEWS Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.23.1-10.fc24.i686 glibc-2.23.1-8.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 64-bit Fedora 24 2. dnf install glibc.i686 glibc.x86_64 Actual results: Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/share/doc/glibc/NEWS from install of glibc-2.23.1-10.fc24.i686 conflicts with file from package glibc-2.23.1-8.fc24.x86_64 Expected results: successful installation Additional info: 1) I don't care for the NEWS file. I just want my programs to run, and one of them wants /lib/ld-linux.so.2 2) It seems to me that a reasonable solution would be to move text files, like NEWS, to a noarch package. Both the i686 and the x86_64 glibc packages could then depend on it.

Your packages sources are inconsistent. You need to obtain the same versions for both architectures.
Thank you _so much_ for the very quick response, and for pointing me in the right direction! FWIW (and for other folks who run into the same issue), dnf somehow managed to install both glibc-2.23.1-8.fc24.x86_64 and glibc-2.23.1-10.fc24.x86_64. Removing the older package fixed the problem.
