Ryan, You are barking up the wrong tree. Your problem is glibc-common.i586. Something is trying to install this package and it conflicts with your currently installed glibc-common.i686. You need to track down where that dependency is coming from and deal with it. I find when dealing with wrong architecture RPMs, that using yum in SHELL mode is much better then dealing with separate command lines as I can do a remove *and* and install in one transaction and have better control over it. > Isn't this a packaging bug?

Possibly, but we need to know what is causing it first. i586/i686 are not meant to be multilib (like x86_64/i686 is). > -Ryan > -- Kevin J.
