I have the elrepo 64 bit beta flash plugin installed. A 32 bit flash update
is being forced on my system. Here are the error messages.
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop from
install of flash-plugin-11.0.1.152-release.i386 conflicts with file
from package flash-plugin-11.0.1.129-0.1.el6.rf.x86_64
There is no flash plugin in elrepo. You seem to have one from rpmforge
installed. Either wait until x86_64 package appears in rpmforge, or
uninstall it, then install official adobe yum repository and install
flash plugin from there..
RPMforge provides already the (beta) 64bit flash-plugin, so there's no need to
wait for it. In this case the 64bit is installed, so there is no reason to
install the 32bit. Unless you want to replace the 64bit by the 32bit.
That is entirely true. Now, I need to convince "yum update" of this pesky
detail.
(And sorry about tracking down which repo I got it from. I stopped too soon
on the version and literally didn't see the .rf in there. My bad.)
The problem is that "yum update" insists I need the 32 bit version of the
flash plugin.
{^_-}
If that is the case (beware, you may need to change browsers, or install another
plugin) you should uninstall the 64bit package first.
RPMforge tracks the flash-plugin releases and packages them asap because there
is an important security impact for systems that have it installed.
