Description of problem: In the the x86_64 devel repository, the x86_64 and i386 rpm's of avahi, the /usr/share/avahi/service-types.db file has different md5sum's causing the two rpm's not to be able to both be installed simultaneously. The i386 rpm ends up being required to resolve deps for the firefox.i386 rpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avahi-0.6.21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum -y install avahi.x86_64 2. yum -y install avahi.i386 3. Actual results: Observe "Transaction check, ... file conflicts" Expected results: Both rpm's installed w/o issue. Additional info: I used --force to install the second rpm.
Hmm, I wonder why they differ? Anyone knows whether the gdbm disk format is CPU dependant? If so, we probably should be moving service-types.db to /usr/lib/
OK, I checked this now. gdbm on-disk formt is indeed different for 64bit and 32bit. I will move the .db file to /usr/lib in the next upstream avahi release.
This is now fixed upstream in SVN r1537 which will find its way in Avahi 0.6.22 which I will eventually push into rawhide. http://avahi.org/ticket/171

Lennart, would it be possible to get this fixed in F8?

Should this bug still be sitting in NEEDINFO status, or should it be changed to CLOSED/UPSTREAM?

This bug seems to seriously damage Gnome on FC8. What can be done to get this upstream ASAP? http://dpaste.com/hold/28268/
Lennart: As you can see, this is causing pain to lot of users. It is definitely something that should be fixed in Fedora 8. Would you mind if I rolled the update?
Fix in Rawhide. Lubomir: Dating this up is not trivial, because you need to fix the paths properly everywhere. You're welcome to update the F8 patches, however. I would not recommend pulling 0.6.22 into F8 though, since it contains a lot of additional changes.
