RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

--- Additional comment from atodorov on 2010-10-20 14:02:24 EEST ---

For the conflicting documentation files see bug #449731 (RHEL4) - it requested that rpm ignores file conflicts under /usr/share/doc to work around several multilib conflicts on ia64.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-07 15:35:46 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 2 Michal Hlavinka 2011-02-01 16:47:21 UTC 
I'm going to close this one CANTIFX. Conflicting file is script that should be called to get compiler flags. These flags are different for 32bit and 64bit, but I'm not aware of any way how to check what version of flags calling script wants.
Comment 3 Alexander Todorov 2011-02-09 07:20:54 UTC 
How about changing the script name to something line uuid-config-$arch ? 

Another possible fix is to remove the multilib package like we did in bug #658039.

> How about changing the script name to something line uuid-config-$arch ? 

I don't know how this could help? Other packages are calling uuid-config during their build time, you'd have to patch all of them to use new name and even learn them how to decide what name they really need.
Comment 5 Alexander Todorov 2011-02-09 09:18:09 UTC 
Moving to releng then. 

Dennis,
can you check if we can remove the multilib package?
Comment 6 Dennis Gregorovic 2011-02-09 17:53:19 UTC 
What about a wrapper script as described here?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MultilibTricks#Multiarch.2C_binaries_and_compilation_scripts

We try to avoid adding packages to the multiarch blacklist whenever possible.
Comment 15 Alexander Todorov 2012-04-02 15:09:30 UTC 
uuid-devel 32bit has been removed from Workstation x86_64. 

yum localinstall uuid* in the optional directory completed without an error.
