I tried to update my FC6 box today, and it barfed at the elfutils*
section, with some recursive dependencies.

So I grabbed all the 'affected' packages, and tried to do it locally
with RPM.

I was looking for some assistance in how to get these guys installed..
thanks in advance.

My RPM knowledge is somewhat limited, but this is the result:

It looks like you're having conflicts between x86_64 and x86
packages. Check your repositories to be sure that you have the proper
ones for your system enabled, i.e., if you have a 64 bit system, you
are using the 64 bit repositories only, and 32 bit for a 32 bit
system. You may have to manually remove (rpm -e) improper packages
from your system. If it is a 32 bit system, you could try "rpm -qa |
grep 64" to get a list of 64 bit packages that will need to be
removed. This will not be as simple if you have a 64 bit system and
need to remove non-64 bit packages.

Good luck

It looks like your running in a multilib environment and it seems you missed
the 32-bit (i386) counterparts in your downloading, get the list and
download the missing 32-bit counterpart rpm packages;

rpm -qa --qf="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" 'elf*' | sort

Then install all at the same time; rpm -Uvh elfutils*.rpm

This example should help in the future; yum update elfutils elfutils.i386

Thanks to both of you guys ... it turns out removing the elflibs.i386
package first was the key.

Seems there is no elflibs.i386 in the 0.126-1 version for x86_64 updates.

Removing it first, then updating all the other elflib packages worked
like a charm.

First please do not top post.

Second are you sure about that;

$ rpm -qa --qf="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" 'elf*' | sort

Yes... you notice that elfutils has no i386 ...

My choice, I do not need the 32-bit version, but i could add it if needed;

$ rpm -ivh elfutils-0.126-1.fc6.i386.rpm --test

You must read The Epic Devry(?) series by Katherine Kerr

Also - try using a threaded newsreader ... which is why I hate bottom
posters.

Well - in the FC6 directory for updates for 64 bit version, there isn't
one... that's my point.
