[SOLVED] yum install libuuid-2.17.2-3.fc13.i686 [on x86_64 conflict]

[jimbux]

I see related threads - but nothing on this specific problem.

Just trying to get a 32 bit app running on my new x86_64 install of F13. When I attempt to install this package:

yum install libuuid-2.17.2-3.fc13.i686

I get this error:

Transaction Check Error:
  package libuuid-2.17.2-5.fc13.x86_64 (which is newer than libuuid-2.17.2-3.fc13.i686) is already installed

Not sure how to proceed. Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance - James.

Actually - a followup question: Why would yum this even report this, or care about the relationships between i686 and x86_64 - don't applications use either i686 OR x86_64 libs and never mix the two?

Hello:

Try

yum install libuuid.i686

and see if that pulls the correct version

Eeek - I'm a dumbass - I used "yum provides" to get the lib (for a missing lib) - but cut and paste an earlier lib version. D'oh! So yes - thanks tons Seve - that worked!

Have I mentioned recently how much I love the Fedora community?

thx - J
