Paul; I have all of the packages and the md5sums are correct and all of the new packages just depend on each other. Panu's link to the amd64-list helped a lot (I'll have to start monitoring that list). To determine the offending package I ran $ rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}.%{arch}\n' | grep samba samba-client-3.0.3.x86_64 samba-swat-3.0.3.x86_64 samba-3.0.3.x86_64 samba-common-3.0.3.x86_64 system-config-samba-1.2.9.noarch samba-3.0.3.i386 Next I attempted to determine what package required the 386 version of SAMBA: $ rpm -q --whatrequires samba.i386 no package requires samba.i386 Since it wasn't required... # rpm -e samba.i386 # rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}.%{arch}\n' | grep samba samba-client-3.0.3.x86_64 samba-swat-3.0.3.x86_64 samba-3.0.3.x86_64 samba-common-3.0.3.x86_64 system-config-samba-1.2.9.noarch Then the yum update was successful :-) Maybe there was a time when an x86_64 version of samba wasn't available so the i386 version was loaded? Thanks for all of the help Paul and Panu, Pete
