with the latest version of NagiosXI and wanted to do an update to the system as well.
I received a multilib version problem when I did this and wanted to know which could be removed.
Code: Select all
Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
1. You have an upgrade for rrdtool which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of rrdtool of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
--exclude rrdtool.otherarch ... this should give you an error
message showing the root cause of the problem.
2. You have multiple architectures of rrdtool installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.
3. You have duplicate versions of rrdtool installed already.
You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
much more problems).
Protected multilib versions: rrdtool-1.3.8-7.el6.i686 != rrdtool-1.4.7-1.el6.rfx.x86_64
Error: Protected multilib versions: php-mssql-5.3.3-4.el6.x86_64 != php-mssql-5.3.3-3.el6.i686I could start making assumption but would rather get an answer from support.
Prior to this I noticed a perl update problem with a dependency on lftp (Is lftp used nagiosxi ?) Currently I excluded the packages perl* and lftp from updates but it would probably also be best to update this as well.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
