Description of problem: I have just (re-)installed fc6 on an x86_64 and applied all the updates. I can For a number of packages I get a complaint that the package has files that conflict with a newer version of itself. As most of these where -devel packages that I had no reason to have installed anyway, I deleted them. But two remain - gnome-panel.i386 and elfutils-libelf.i386. It seems as though I have two versions installed for yum gnome-panel and elfutils-libelf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.0-6 yum-3.0.3-1.fc6 elfutils-libelf-0.123-1.fc6 elfutils-libelf-0.123-1.fc6 elfutils-libelf-0.126-1.fc6 gnome-panel-2.16.0-4.fc6 gnome-panel-2.16.0-4.fc6 gnome-panel-2.16.3-2.fc6 How reproducible: Don't know, have not attempted another re-install. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fc6 from DVD 2. Run yum update Actual results: gnome-panel and elfutils-libelf will not upgrade do to dependancy conflicts Expected results: gnome-panel and elfutils-libelf should upgrade correctly Additional info:
Did you have a failed update run in there? As you have multiple versions of packages installed which isn't normal.
To be honest, I cannot now remember, sorry. It's possible, but I didn't think so. I did also discover that I had numerous multiple packages for all sorts of things, which I have manually removed, and have had no further problems. As I am no longer able to repeat the problem, I suppose you can close the bug - manual removal seems to be the fix. Thanks for your help.
