This is very quick and dirty and probably wrong (since I don't have an x86-64 system to test it on), but try: $ yum list installed | perl -e 'while (<>) { ($name,$ver,$junk) = split /\s+/,$_,3; if ($name =~ /(.*)\.(.*)$/) { $hash{$2}{"$1-$ver"}=1; } } foreach (keys %{$hash{x86_64}}) { if (exists $hash{i386}{$_}) { print "$_\n"; } } ' ... it should print out a list of all the packages that conflict (as long as the version numbers are the same -- if they're not, you can remove the "-$ver" part from the hash assignment. That should point you in the right direction at least. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
