Ok. That makes sense. Thanks a lot for the info on that change in 6.1. If I run into this in 6.2 later maybe I can try the same technique with the yum reinstall <whatever packages are freaking out>

Hi Gary,

I just ran into this upon updating to RHEL6.1 on two x86_64 systems too...
The reason behind this is that el6.0 provided both python.x86_64 and python.i686 while the el6.1 update only provided python.x86_64 (so does the DVD media too, btw). I opened SR 00478213 with RH about that issue.
In the end, I solved the issue by doing this:

# rpm -e boost-python.i686 iscsi-initiator-utils.i686 \
gstreamer-python.i686 rhythmbox.i686 glade3-libgladeui.i686 \
PyQt4.i686 boost-devel.i686 python.i686 python-devel.i686 \
tkinter.i686 python-libs.i686

The RH engineer also suggested that this would have solved my problem:

# yum reinstall python python-devel libtdb tdb-tools

PS: a few other rpms show some kind of issue too (tdb-tools, libcmpiCppImpl0-devel vs. tog-pegasus-devel, etc..)

I hope this helps,

Regards,

Vincent

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,
