mudmanc4 Posted January 29, 2012 CID Share Posted January 29, 2012 openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5_7.1.i686 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5_7.1.x86_64 This is causing me a load of time. This might sound like a crazy question , who knows if an x86_64 machine running VPS needs any i686 packages ? If not I'll make sure by editing the repo that I get none of them , and solve this silly issue. I wish they would stop whoever is doing this, this is the second time Iv'e has i686 packages on this machine that have caused me trouble.

nanobot Posted January 29, 2012 CID Share Posted January 29, 2012 If it's x86_64 then you don't need the i686 packages. i686 is just an x86 based architecture. If you are using the x86_64, then you should use those packages instead. (If available.) Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted January 29, 2012 Author CID Share Posted January 29, 2012 I assumed so, but then why would someone continue to label packages for the wrong arch in the repo !!!!! It's ridiculous , because by the time they trickle down to the rest of the servers , things are a mess. I'll comment them out in the local centos repo so i don't keep getting them. EDIT , meant yum.conf and adding " exactarch=1 " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT , meant yum.conf and adding " exactarch=1 " Well i386/i486/i586/i686 are all for the 32-Bit architecture. The x86_64 will not work on a 32-Bit version of CentOS, therefore they have to provide the 32-Bit versions as well. Which, your installation was configured to grab the first version it found, which was the i686. (Probably because of the Alphabet.)

mudmanc4 Posted January 30, 2012 Author CID Share Posted January 30, 2012 Understand , and actually I looked it up and someone is borking a few arch definitions up somewhere so no matter if you specify an architecture or not , your still going to get , or were going to get a different package then you wanted. , people whining about it all over. On top of that , there is /was an issue with an update of openssl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted February 2, 2012 Author CID Share Posted February 2, 2012 This issue is ongoing. Anything i try to install that required openssl , yum tries to install the dependency openssl i686 0.9.8e-20.el5_7.1 Iv'e excluded anything other than the system arch by adding exactarch in yum.conf , which should over ride anything in any repo that might be calling for x86 arch packages. Currently , the x86 or i686 or anything of the likes , other than x86_64 openssl packages are installed. Yes Iv'e cleared the yum cache. my next move is to set priorities within the repos. Which i should have done before since I'm using atomic rocket turtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
