Description of problem: For the update, redhat-lsb.i686 is not available for x86_64, which results in a "protected multilib version" update error for users who have both redhat-lsb.i686 and redhat-lsb.x86_64 installed: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5220 It seems this is due to the new subpackages that moved /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 from redhat-lsb to the redhat-lsb-core subpackage. That one now is pulled in by the multiarch package resolver, whereas redhat-lsb no longer is. Library packages are considered by the multiarch repo compose process, if memory serves correctly.
I had the same problem: I could no longer "yum update" my x86_64 Fedora 17 system, because it always ended in the same "protected multilib version" error, and therefore wouldn't update the system. This is definitely a bug, because clueless users (and even most experienced users) will be unable to solve this problem unless the repository is fixed, but I was nevertheless curious to investigate why it happened to me and not to 100% of the Fedora 17 users (I guess if it happened to 100% of the users, it would have been fixed long ago). It turns out that a long time ago I installed Google's Picasa RPM, and that has a dependency on redhat-lsb.i686, and this is the *only* reason I have this package on my system (as "yum remove redhat-lsb.i686" told me). Since clearly picassa doesn't *really* depends on this package, I went ahead and removed his unnecessary package: "rpm -e --nodeps redhat-lsb.i686". Picasa still works, and "yum update" is back to normal. I'm guessing that most x86_64 users who never installed Picasa would not have redhat-lsb.i686 which is why they don't encounter this problem. But it's still (very) important for those who do have this package.

Google-earth lists redhat-lsb.i686 as a dependancy and won't run unless it is installed (redhat-lsb.x86_64 is not enough).

This has not yet appeared on my local mirror, which is accessed via the mirror list: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/17/x86_64/ . Any idea what's holding it up?
What mirror do you use? yum -d 255 repolist
the master site is working fine http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/17/x86_64/ Mirrors where I can see this package http://mirror.itc.virginia.edu/fedora/updates/testing/17/x86_64/ http://mirror.uoregon.edu/fedora/linux/updates/testing/17/x86_64/
Created attachment 597854 [details] List of repos my system uses See my comment to comment #8.

Nevertheless yum on my system does not see them. I will download and update by hand.
I wrote too quick. These are **testing** repos. When will these appear in updates. Redhat-lsb brings in a lot of dependancies, and I am a little afraid to update a lot of stuff on my one system from the testing repos.
The update has already passed 7 days successfully but I am still buying some more time. I will request to push this update to stable by Monday 16th. Thanks Michael for testing this update.
redhat-lsb-4.1-5.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

On my system everything is working fine. No problems with updates and Google Earth (the only application that I know depends on this) is running properly.
