Hello,

This is maybe a silly question but... if you're architecture is, let's say x86_64, why would anything install an i686 version of the same package?

Cheers,

Sylvia

Could be lots of reasons. An x86_64 and i686 library installed
simultaneously can appear confusingly as duplicate libraries if you
don't ask rpm to report architecture. A system interruption during the
update can block rpm from clearing the old entries in its database. Or
a failure of '%post' operations can cause the update to fail partway
through.

The usual answer if there are genuinely two copies reported is to do a
"reinstall" if it's two distinct versions of the same package, and to
do an "rpm --rebuilddb" and see if that helps.
