Does anyone have an idea whether the older i386 version is safe to remove, and moreover how did two versions get installed? BTW: file /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped If you sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-released-i386 update perl which executable do you get as a default the 386 or the x64?
