Hello Members,

Has anyone run into this problem were by after enabling this repo "rhel-x86_64-rhev-mgmt-agent-6" yum fails updates with the following errors;

This is right after fresh 6.6 install and subscription setup...

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 augeas-libs which is missing some
            dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
            solve this by installing an older version of augeas-libs 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 augeas-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error
            message showing the root cause of the problem.

         2. You have multiple architectures of augeas-libs installed, but
            yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
            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 augeas-libs 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).

       Protected multilib versions: augeas-libs-1.0.0-5.el6_5.1.i686 != augeas-libs-1.0.0-7.el6.x86_64

Hi Mik,

This is a little strange as RHEL 6.6 already contains augeas-libs-1.0.0-7.el6.x86_64.rpm ("out of the box") -- i.e. the version to which YUM is trying to upgrade in your case. Since you're saying that this happens on a fresh install of 6.6, it doesn't make much sense.

Did you try to follow any of the three solutions YUM suggests?

I have seen this issue. I followed the recommendations and they provided no help. For me it was an issue with repos. What repositories do you have setup? # yum repolist will display your enabled repos info.

Hi,

The actual issue is caused by augeas, not augeas-libs. You seem to have augeas-1.0.0-5.el6_5.1.x86_64 and augeas-libs.-1.0.0-5.el6_5.1.x86_64, but 'yum update' only sees an update of augeas-libs. Since the old augeas can't be installed without the same version-release of augeas-libs, Yum tries including the 32-bit package into the transaction, hoping it will satisfy the dependencies. However, the transaction eventually fails because you can't have mismatching 32- and 64-bit instances of augeas-libs..

Where do you have augeas from? Note that this package is part of the Optional repo. If you don't have/need this repo anymore, you ought to uninstall augeas.

I have the following repo's enabled;

repo id repo name status
jb-eap-6-for-rhel-6-server-rpms JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (RHEL 6 Server) (RPMs) 1,847
rhel-6-server-rhev-mgmt-agent-rpms Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Management Agents (RPMs) 375
rhel-6-server-rhevm-3.4-rpms Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.4 (RPMs) 209
rhel-6-server-rpms Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (RPMs) 14,472
rhel-6-server-supplementary-rpms Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - Supplementary (RPMs) 446

I removed augeas-lib and augeas and seemed to have cleared the multilib issue for that moment…

--> 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 augeas-libs which is missing some
        dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
        solve this by installing an older version of augeas-libs 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 augeas-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error
        message showing the root cause of the problem.

     2. You have multiple architectures of augeas-libs installed, but
        yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
        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 augeas-libs 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).

   Protected multilib versions: augeas-libs-1.0.0-5.el6_5.1.i686 != augeas-libs-1.0.0-7.el6.x86_64

I don’t get it...

You can keep augeas-libs. It's augeas that needs to be removed.

Matt Marks was on the right track. 'augeas-libs' is in the rhel-6-server-rpms repo, but 'augeas' itself is in 'rhel-6-server-optional-rpms'. Adding or enabling that repo will fix this problem (by correctly updating both 'augeas' and 'augeas-libs' in sync).

I've seen this with some perl-related packages as well; somewhere between RHEL 6.4 and 6.6, the "server-optional" repository became no longer optional, since there are now dependencies from the main 'rhel-6-server-rpms" to packages in "server-optional". And the 'yum' output is utterly unhelpful in identifying the real cause (and solution), without a very close reading of the output and a knowledge of precisely which packages are in which repositories (or, just recognizing the problem symptom from having seen it before. But figuring it out the first time is a real bear).

Yes, that was my point. I was not able to get back to this until today. I'm not sure if you need augeas, and augeas-libs, but if you do you will need to add the "optional" repo as James pointed out.

Yes, that's also a way to make "yum update" work. Generally speaking, you need to avoid situations where a package is no longer available from its channel -- either get rid of the package or re-enable its channel.

You can run "yum list extras" to see such orphaned packages.

Thanks Matt.

This worked for me:
rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6

The equivalent subscription-manager command would be this I believe:
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
