Is it possible to prevent yum to install double version of a package: to
night, I wanted to install digikam and yum offered to install both
version (x86_64 and i386) and all missing dependencies (x86_64 and i386).

I need only one version!

Is there some possibility: --exclude=i386

If you want to remove all i386 packages from your computer you can use this
command:

yum remove \*.i?86

If you want to exclude all i386 packages from your yum commands, you can add
this to /etc/yum.conf:

exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686




can you just put exclude=*.i?86 instead of listing out all three?

thanks,

You might not want to do that.
nspluginwrapper works well with i386 adobe flash - but if you exclude all i386 packages you will not meat the dependencies for the adobe flash plugin. Same for Acrobat reader.

but since i dont have flash or acrobat reader running on my x86_64 system it would otherwise be ok to do?

thanks,
