RE: up2date aborted with pango.modules conflict

["Chiu, PCM (Peter) " <P C M Chiu rl ac uk>]

Having just received an update from Bugzilla, I am somewhat disappointed 
that despite of two updates, RHEL 3 x86_64 is unfortunately still not quite
a mature product for normal production or business purpose. 

Attached is their response.

------- Additional Comments From otaylor redhat com  2004-07-24 11:56
------- It's a known issue that not all libraries parallel install between
x86_64 and i386 in RHEL3. Work has been done to fix this in develment
versions but the changes are quite substantial and thus potentially
dangerous. It is not yet decided when to introduce those changes into 
a RHEL3 update.

I'm going to reassing this bug to up2date since it isn't clear to me why
up2date should be trying to pull in the i386 version of additional packages.
There may be some debug options you can add to get more information about
why it's pulling in the above packages.

I logged this call a week ago to bugzilla, but no response.
I wonder what their average response time is?

Anyway, I reinstalled a new copy of RHEL-64 to a different partition. This
time, I managed to apply up2date, after removing a list of products by trial
and error.

During the up2date process, I have noticed some products such as samba are
automatically included to install for both i386 and x86_64.

Is that a fault or something intentional?  

The end result is that I cannot get up2date to run automatically unless I
know which package to skip.

Could well be.

rpm -qa | grep -i pango

reveals pango-1.2.5-2.0 has been loaded.

Under /var/spool/up2date, then I found
pango-1.2.5-2.0.i386.hdr

but no rpm.

It appears that up2date somehow is trying to install the i386 version.

I have checked the file "/etc/pango/pango.modules" on the system, 
and it is a x86-64 version, so that is what it should be.

It appears that some package requires pango (i386) during the up2date but I
cannot tell which.
 
I have logged a call to bugzilla.

We have just acquired a new dual opteron 248 and loaded in RHEL 3
(3.2.3-26).

After setting up the system, I tried to apply the latest updates from RHN,
but it fails with this error:

Test install failed because of package conflicts:
The following packages were added to your selection to satisfy
dependencies:

atk   1.2.4  3.0
glib2 2.2.3  2.0
gtk2  2.2.4  4.0
laus-libs 0.1 56RHEL3
laus-libs 0.1 56RHEL3
mozilla-nspr 1.4.2 3.0.2
mozilla-nss  1.4.2 3.0.2
pango        1.2.5 2.0

file /etc/pango/pango.modules from install of pango-1.2.5-2.0 conflicts with
file from package pango-1.2.5-2.0

It is rather odd as the two packages said to be in conflict are identical to
me.

I then tried it again with the -u --force option with up2date, but it fails
with the same error.

I have also tried removing the file pango.modules, no joy.
If I tried to remove the package pango, it complains a huge list of products
requires libpangoft2-1, libpangox etc.
