Description of problem: After cleaning up my Fedora box of i386 libs, right after installation, when I try to update the system, for some reason digikam.i386 is called into play. Of course, once this i386 application is called upon to be installed, it brings back all the rest of the i386 operating system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): digikam.x86_64 0.9.1-1.fc7 digikamimageplugins.x86_64 0.9.1-1.fc7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install F7 x86_64 from DVD 2. Delete all i386 packages 3. yum -y update Actual results: digikam.i386 reappears to be updated a whole bunch of i386 support files are brought into play to be installed. Expected results: only digikam.x86_64 should be updated No i386 support file should be installed Additional info: [root@musa ~]# yum -y update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package pidgin.x86_64 0:2.0.2-3.fc7 set to be updated ---> Package liboil.x86_64 0:0.3.12-3.fc7 set to be updated filelists.sqlite.bz2 100% |=========================| 2.4 MB 00:54 .... ---> Package dbus.x86_64 0:1.0.2-6.fc7 set to be updated ---> Package digikam.i386 0:0.9.2-1.fc7 set to be updated ---> Package xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86_64 0:2.0.96-2.fc7 set to be updated ............

Removing digikam, and executing "yum update" works as expected, no i386 is introduced in the system.
How have you deleted all i386 packages?
Yes. I did a rpm -q --queryformat="%{name}.%{arch}\n" |grep i386 to make sure no i386 package remained at my computer before invoking the update and it came out clean.
exclude='*.i?86' packages in your /etc/yum.conf because this is Yum multi-lib that pulls in the i386 digikam packages
Thanks
