CentOS 上的 yum update 提示 "Multilib version problems"的 "nss-softokn-freebl"

Question

上周五早上，我在我的 CentOS 笔记本电脑上尝试了“yum update”，它报告如下:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, verify

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

     2. You have multiple architectures of nss-softokn-freebl installed, but
    yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
    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 nss-softokn-freebl 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: nss-softokn-freebl-3.16.2.3-14.2.el7_2.i686 != nss-softokn-freebl-3.16.2.3-13.el7_1.x86_64

我在#centos 上问过这个问题，有人给了我一些探索性的建议，但没有真正的解决方案。

Answer 1

尝试安装 i686 开发库时，我在 Fedora 20 系统(在 docker 容器中运行)上遇到了同样的问题。原因分别是 x86_64 和 i686 的两个不匹配版本。

Protected multilib versions: nss-softokn-freebl-3.19.1-1.0.fc20.i686 != nss-softokn-freebl-3.19.2-1.0.fc20.x86_64

对我来说，打电话有帮助

yum distribution-synchronization 

这会自动降级 x86_64 版本。在那之后我可以安装

yum install nss-softokn-freebl.i686 

和

yum list installed | grep nss-softokn-freebl

现在显示:

nss-softokn-freebl.i686      3.19.1-1.0.fc20         @updates
nss-softokn-freebl.x86_64    3.19.1-1.0.fc20         @updates

问题已解决。
