Your logs shows conflicts, starting with those:


installed package lib64uuid-devel-2.28.2-1.mga6.x86_64 is conflicting with lib64ossp_uuid-devel-1.6.2-16.mga6.x86_64 (Conflicts: libuuid-devel)
set_rejected: lib64uuid-devel-2.28.2-1.mga6.x86_64
installed package lib64uuid-devel-2.28.2-1.mga6.x86_64 is conflicting with lib64ossp_uuid-devel-1.6.2-16.mga6.x86_64 (Conflicts: ossp_uuid-devel)
chosen lib64ossp_uuid16-1.6.2-16.mga6.x86_64 for lib64ossp_uuid16[== 1.6.2]

I think installing the 32bit packages was the only way to workaround the conflicts.


Trying to install with dnf gives the same conflicts: 

  - package lib64ossp_uuid-devel-1.6.2-16.mga6.x86_64 conflicts with libuuid-devel provided by lib64uuid-devel-2.28.2-1.mga6.x86_64
  - package lib64uuid-devel-2.28.2-1.mga6.x86_64 conflicts with ossp_uuid-devel provided by lib64ossp_uuid-devel-1.6.2-16.mga6.x86_64

So urpmi isn't the culprit.

Maybe this is as it should be, though?

In the util-linux spec there's:

%package -n     %{lib_uuid_devel}
Summary:        Universally unique ID library
Group:          Development/C
License:        BSD
Conflicts:      %{lib_ext2fs} < 1.41.8-2
Requires:       %{lib_uuid} = %{version}
Provides:       libuuid-devel = %{version}-%{release}
Provides:       uuid-devel = %{version}-%{release}
Conflicts:      ossp_uuid-devel

And in the ossp_uuid spec file there's:

%package        -n     %{develname}
Summary:        Header files for the ossp-uuid library
Group:          Development/C
Requires:       %{libname} = %{version}
Provides:       %{name}-devel = %{version}-%{release}
Conflicts:      libuuid-devel

So isn't this report just invalid?

CC'ing all packagers collectively, in case I miss something.

Comment 3 Rémi Verschelde 2017-02-01 16:08:13 CET 
Well the issue is likely between the Conflicts and the virtual Provides.

It's a bug that to resolve a wanted conflict rpm will pull half of the distro in 32-bit packages. It should instead propose to replace the conflicting package.
