The latest perl update (perl.x86_64 3:5.8.5-11.FC3 and perl- suidperl.x86_64 3:5.8.5-11.FC3.1) conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9. What would be the best solution? rpm -e or wait for a new refurbished package?
Here is a followup issue. My system was installed as an x86_64 system and I remember deliberately choosing only a single i386 rpm to install. That was firefox, because of flash and a couple of other plugins I use which only come in i386 versions. I just checked, and I have a HUGE number of packages which have both an i386 and an x86_64 version installed.
Now I'm wondering why there are so many i386 rpms installed when I chose an x86_64 install and why this is the first time a conflict like the perl issue has come up.
