Description of problem: You can't yum install kdelibs.i386 on an amd64 Fedora 9 box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdelibs i386 6:4.0.3-7.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 64-bit fedora 9 with KDE. 3. yum install kdelibs.i386 Actual results: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/sonnet/index.cache.bz2 from install of kdelibs-4.0.3-7.fc9.i386 conflicts with file from package kdelibs-4.0.3-7.fc9.x86_64 Expected results: side-by-side kdelibs.amd64 in /usr/lib64 and kdelibs.i386 in /usr/lib Additional info: prevents the running of 32-bit kde apps on 64-bit fedora 9
Joy, more doxygen borkage, it would appear.
The workaround is to install the 2 versions in one transaction, which for some reason gets RPM not to complain. su - rpm -e --nodeps kdelibs yum install kdelibs kdelibs.i386 But we have to fix this in some way.
Same problem with latest F9 KDE updates: kdelibs-4.0.4-4.fc9.i386 kdelibs-4.0.4-4.fc9.x86_64 I've worked around the problem like this: # rpm -Uvh --force kdelibs-4.0.4-4.fc9.i386.rpm (after satisfying all kdelibs.i386 dependencies with yum)
Maybe move non-arch conflicts to kdelibs-common ? (doesn't solve conflict in kdelibs4 for previous releases tho) or maybe some other "common" type subpkg. noticed with kdelibs-4.0.4 that /usr/share/kde4/apps/kjava/kjava.jar conflicts too.
nevermind, I reconfirmed that kjava.jar was bogus (a local botch).
