F8 64-bit: Problem updating NetworkManager via yum

[rweed]

This is FYI:

I did a 'yum update' last night and got the following error:

ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package NetworkManager needs NetworkManager-glib = 1:0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8, this is not available.
Package NetworkManager needs NetworkManager-glib = 1:0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8, this is not available.

The way I got around it was to remove my i386 version of NetworkManager-glib. This also removed evolution.i386 and NetworkManger.i386. These three don't appear to be required on a 64-bit system anyway.

Cheers, Rick

I seem to be having the same problem when doing my updates.

This is just the first few lines of the messages:

In my case, it also removed NetworkManager-vpnc, presumably because I have the vpnc package installed as well. However, if this rips out Evolution, isn't that going to suck for all 3 of the people that actually USE Evolution?

Of course, you CAN manually reinstall Evolution, but it seems rather silly to have to rip it out to start with, considering that it is a productivity app, not a Network Management one.

Just my thoughts, which aren't worth much.

Similar problem here, too

Complete!

What's happened here? I need to run updates as I have problems with glibc needing updated.

Hi,
I had the same problem; I Yum ininstalled the 386 version of Network Manager, leaving the 64 bit version. I was then able to update Network Manager. The same thing occured with LIRC??; that time I uninstalled the 386 version and updated all at the same time, and it went smoothly. I see I now have only the 64 bit versions installed. Odd thing, I noted at the time I installed the F8 OS, it installed both 386 and the 86x64 bit versions, and as time went on, the 386 versions just disappeared slowly as I did updates. Something seems different the last few updates; and yes, I have always had the correct repositories enabled.
Regards,
Bob

I also had the update problem, I uninstalled the i386 version of NetworkManager, it also removed evolution, and the update went ok.

ok, I just wanted to reply to everyone here to say thank you soo much. I uninstalled yum remove NetworkManager (which also removed a few things) then i specified the actual file (not the one called .i386!!!)

Why are so many people having this problem?
