For a few days now, I've been getting update errors because (apparently)
the 32 bit pam isn't yet in the repos even though the 64 bit version
is newer:
Problem 1: pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 has inferior architecture
- cannot install both pam-1.5.2-13.fc36.x86_64 and pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64
- cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686
- cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64
Problem 2: package libpwquality-1.4.4-7.fc36.i686 requires pam(x86-32), but none of the
providers can be installed
- package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 requires pam-libs(x86-32) = 1.5.2-12.fc36, but none of
the providers can be installed
- cannot install both pam-libs-1.5.2-13.fc36.i686 and pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686
- cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686
- cannot install the best update candidate for package libpwquality-1.4.4-7.fc36.i686
Problem 3: problem with installed package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686
- package pam-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 requires pam-libs(x86-32) = 1.5.2-12.fc36, but none of
the providers can be installed
- pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.i686 has inferior architecture
- cannot install both pam-libs-1.5.2-13.fc36.x86_64 and pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64
- cannot install the best update candidate for package pam-libs-1.5.2-12.fc36.x86_64
In the past these sorts of things have gone away if I waited a couple
of days, but it has been doing this all week. Is a proper 32 bit pam
going to land soon?
I'm not sure why I currently have 32 bit pam installed, any drastic
consequences for removing all the 32 bit pam packages? There certainly
doesn't appear to be a vast number of packages dnf wants to remove
if I say erase pam.i686 and pam-libs.i686.
