Description of problem: I tried to update to mate-document-viewer from updates-testing, but this is rejected since a lot of days: yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing --> Running transaction check ---> Package mate-document-viewer.x86_64 0:1.6.1-3.fc19 will be updated ---> Package mate-document-viewer.x86_64 0:1.6.1-5.fc19 will be an update ---> Package mate-document-viewer-libs.i686 0:1.6.1-3.fc19 will be updated --> Processing Dependency: mate-document-viewer-libs(x86-32) = 1.6.1-3.fc19 for package: mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 ---> Package mate-document-viewer-libs.x86_64 0:1.6.1-3.fc19 will be updated ---> Package mate-document-viewer-libs.i686 0:1.6.1-5.fc19 will be an update ---> Package mate-document-viewer-libs.x86_64 0:1.6.1-5.fc19 will be an update --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 (@updates-testing) Requires: mate-document-viewer-libs(x86-32) = 1.6.1-3.fc19 Removing: mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 (@updates-testing) mate-document-viewer-libs(x86-32) = 1.6.1-3.fc19 Updated By: mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.1-5.fc19.i686 (updates-testing) mate-document-viewer-libs(x86-32) = 1.6.1-5.fc19 Available: mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.0-6.fc19.i686 (fedora) mate-document-viewer-libs(x86-32) = 1.6.0-6.fc19 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See description! 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: On my box: rpm -qa mate-document-viewer* mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.1-3.fc19.x86_64 mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.x86_64 mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686
I think, on my x86_64 box the i686 versions of mate-document-viewer and mate-document-viewer-libs are not needed, so I erased them. After this step, the update to mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.1-5.fc19.x86_64 and mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-5.fc19.x86_64 was performed flawlessly.
In general you don't need i686 mate packages on a x86_64 box, clean your installation.
(In reply to Wolfgang Ulbrich from comment #2) > In general you don't need i686 mate packages on a x86_64 box, clean your > installation. OK, accepted. By please allow one remark: mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 was installed on my x86_64 box on Aug 05, but I'm sure, this wasn't done by myself. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The history of installed mate-document-viewer* packages is: Jul 03 07:20:47 Installed: mate-document-viewer-data-1.6.0-6.fc19.noarch Jul 03 07:20:49 Installed: mate-document-viewer-1.6.0-6.fc19.x86_64 Jul 03 07:20:50 Installed: mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.0-6.fc19.x86_64 Aug 05 05:55:43 Installed: mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.x86_64 Aug 05 05:55:45 Updated: mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.1-3.fc19.x86_64 Aug 05 05:55:52 Installed: mate-document-viewer-libs-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 Aug 05 05:55:53 Installed: mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 Aug 05 05:55:55 Erased: mate-document-viewer-data-1.6.0-6.fc19.noarch So can you explain why mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.i686 was installed?
Ok, sorry not your fault. mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-3.fc19.x86_64 in updates-testing was obsolete by mate-document-viewer-1.6.1-4.fc19, because of this multilib issue. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=454334 But it was only for one day in updates-testing :(
