Topic: gd missing i686 counterpart?

There is an update to gd.x86_64 in the Remi Repo, but not the i686 counterpart?  Is this an error?  I cannot apply the update because of:

--> Running transaction check
---> Package gd.x86_64 0:2.1.0-6.fc20 will be updated
---> Package gd.x86_64 0:2.1.1-1.fc20.remi will be an update
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
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 gd which is missing some
            dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
            solve this by installing an older version of gd 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 gd.otherarch ... this should give you an error
            message showing the root cause of the problem.
       
         2. You have multiple architectures of gd installed, but
            yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
            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 gd 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).

Re: gd missing i686 counterpart?

The 32bits lib are only available in the 32bits repo.

I "really" you need both 32 and 64bits versions... you should "exclude" this lib or "include" it from the 32bits repo.

Re: gd missing i686 counterpart?

Actually, I had both versions installed from the Fedora repos on my x86_64 system (brought in because of WINE dependencies).  When your update became available, it was flagged to update, but your separation of the two versions in separate repos seems to be what is broken.  On my system *both* versions need to be updated.  Your x86_64 repo should include the appropriate i686 version just like the Fedora repos do.  Notice that the error message from yum indicates that one of the possible problems here is that the repo is broken, and I tend to agree that it is.  I started using REMI for PHP and mysql (now maria) stuff.  But, when you add something new (like the gd RPM), please do so in a way that doesn't break existing user's configurations.  Thanks.

Should be ok now.

Re: gd missing i686 counterpart?

Yes!  The update has proceeded past the previous error point.  Well done.  Thank-you, great response time!  Feel free to close this if you deem necessary.
