I have an athlon 64 system that I'm running a 32 bit FC3 on. This is the second time yum has gotten confused to the point that I cannot patch my system anymore: ---> Package gwenhywfar-devel.i386 0:1.7.2-0.fc3 set to be installed --> Running transaction check --> Processing Conflict: python-devel conflicts python < 2.3.4-13.1 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: python-devel conflicts with python < 2.3.4-13.1 Is there a fix for this sort of thing, short of reinstalling? Here are my (very vanilla, AFAIK) yum configs: seki-strombrg> cat /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d Thu Mar 03 13:06:05 seki-strombrg> grep . /etc/yum.repos.d/ fedora-devel.repo fedora-updates.repo fedora.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo Thu Mar 03 13:06:05 seki-strombrg> grep . /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora* /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo:[development] /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo:name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo:#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/ /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo:mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo:enabled=0 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:[base] /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:enabled=1 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:gpgcheck=1 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:[updates-released] /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:enabled=1 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:gpgcheck=1 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo:[updates-testing] /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo:name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Test Updates /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo:#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/$releasever/$basearch/ /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo:mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-testing-fc$releasever /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo:enabled=0 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo:gpgcheck=1 Thu Mar 03 13:06:20 seki-strombrg> Thanks!
