Interesting, I was just trying to track that one down myself. Now that
yum doesn't crash, it seems to want to populate my x86-64 system with
i386 packages. Or, more to the point, I thinks somehow I have already
done so.
For example, it wants to "update" GConf2.i386. Investigating this
yields some interesting results:
[root at bike corbet]# rpm -q GConf2
GConf2-2.16.0-6.fc7
[root at bike corbet]# rpm -q GConf2.i386
[root at bike corbet]# rpm -q GConf2.x86_64
GConf2-2.16.0-6.fc7
[root at bike corbet]# rpm -e GConf2.i386
[root at bike corbet]# rpm -e GConf2.i386
[root at bike corbet]# rpm -e GConf2.i386
[root at bike corbet]# rpm -e ThisIsWeird.i386
error: package ThisIsWeird.i386 is not installed
Any attempt to do anything with the "i386 version" yields silence, even
though that package certainly does not exist on my system. Something is
very confused in rpmland...
