I have a i386 repo configured for CentOS-Base (CentOS-Base-i386.repo),
but the only package enabled in it is Firefox.  I also have
kbsingh-CentOS-Extras, kbsingh-CentOS-Misc, and rpmforge repos, but they
are all disabled.  So, yum updates run against the x86_64 CentOS-Base
repo, except for Firefox.


I had a similar problem, I needed the i686 version of openssl on my shiny, new 64-bit version and it just would not go. What I ended up doing was running "yum install openssl.i686" and noting the dependencies when it failed, then reran yum to install the dependencies. Finally I downloaded the openssl RPM for i686 and did an "rpm -ivh --excludedocs openssl*.i686.rpm" to get it all installed. Since all of the conflicts were in the manpages, this worked out nicely. Perhaps there will be problems later, but the install was clean and it seems to work just fine. Now if I can just figure out why nxserver won't work on that system...

Just a thought!
