Yes - I realized I forgot to say what the real issue was. It was the same conflict you mentioned. Funnily enough, your solution is exactly what I did last night!

There was a conflict the other day with Centos packaging of the i386 version on x86_64 which had my yum update spit out pages of errors about it, trying to install the x86_64 version and complaining that it conflicted with files owned by the i386 version. The solution for me was to rpm -e perl.i386 then run yum update again. -- Trevor Hemsley Infrastructure Engineer ................................................. * C A L Y P S O * 4th Floor, Tower Point, 44 North Road, Brighton, BN1 1YR, UK OFFICE +44 (0) 1273 666 350 FAX +44 (0) 1273 666 351 ................................................. www.calypso.com This electronic-mail might contain confidential information intended only for the use by the entity named.
