[rhelv6-list] multilib problems with python and iscsi-initiator-utils

[Gary Gatling]

Greetings,

Recently I could not get updates on both my RHEL 6 desktops. The error 
message was this:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Protected multilib versions: python-libs-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64 != 
python-libs-2.6.5-3.el6_0.2.i686
Error: Protected multilib versions: python-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64 != 
python-2.6.5-3.el6_0.2.i686
Error: Protected multilib versions: 
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6.x86_64 != 
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-10.el6.i686
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I built a iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6.i686.rpm and a
python-2.6.6-20.el6.i686.rpm and python-libs-2.6.6-20.el6.i686.rpm rpms 
from sources and added them to a local repo I use and that got around the 
problem. So I guess 32 bit versions of these rpms were not built for the 
latest updates..

Should I put this into bugzilla for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6? Its not a 
bug per se in RHEL. Its just that they forgot to add in these 32 bit 
packages to the repo so on systems where both 32 and 64 bit packages are 
installed yum breaks.

Thanks,
