Por que meu servidor RHEL6 x86_64 está tentando instalar o libselinux.i686?

Question

Acabei de fazer uma nova instalação usando o DVD do RHEL 6 em um servidor VirtualBox de teste:

[root@bt-rhel6-1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago)

Tenho certeza de que é uma máquina x86_64:

[root@bt-rhel6-1 ~]# uname -a
Linux bt-rhel6-1.local 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 15:42:40 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

E nenhum outro pacote i686 está instalado:

[root@bt-rhel6-1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep i686
[root@bt-rhel6-1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep x86_64 | wc -l
331

Mas quando eu faço yum update :

[root@bt-rhel6-1 ~]# yum update 2>&1 | grep i686

O que dá?

    

Answer 1

Isso ocorreu devido a um bug do pacote selinux-ruby .

O comando

yum -v update que @Mark recomendou me ajudou a descobrir isso. Consegui contorná-lo instalando manualmente um pacote mais novo e tudo foi bom.
