I am trying to run a yum update on my CentOS 5.5 box. Everything goes well until it tries to update perl:

Updating:

perl x86_64 4:5.8.8-32.el5_5.2 updates 12 M

My server is running x86_64, but the only perl on it (installed during the normal OS install) is i386 - and to top it off, it seems to think it has it installed twice:

[r...@satch ~]# rpm -qi perl

Name        : perl                         Relocations: (not relocatable)

Version     : 5.8.8                             Vendor: CentOS

Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your

system to handle Perl scripts.

Summary     : The Perl programming language

Notice the same versions, but different size and slightly different install times?

Do I have a corrupt RPM db? If so, how do I resolve this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Kevin
