Two days now, yumex has wanted to update both the x86_64 and i386
version of sane-backends (1.0.18-2.fc5), but only update the
x86_64 version of sane-backends-libs (1.0.18-2.fc5). The summary
I get from the yumex window is very strange when I try to
update, it says:
Installing
sane-backends-libs x86_64 1.0.18-2.fc5
replacing sane-backends.i386 1.0.17-5.fc5.9
Updating for dependencies
sane-backends x86_64 1.0.18-2.fc5
So its installing the x86_64 libs to replace the i386 libs? I
thought multi-arch libs were supposed to co-exist?
In any case I wind up with an endless transaction error (which I
will truncate here):

Why do I have both i386 and x86_64 sane libs installed? In this
case it actually makes sense - I have wine installed and the
wine-core stuff depends on the i386 sane stuff.
I have had the same issue for a few days. Looks like it is cleared up
now with the availability of an i386 version of sane-backends-libs.
And, yes, I too was tempted to somehow use "insane" in an email about
it. But, I never got the chance and you beat me to it :-).
