Conflicts between new 32 bit and old 64 bit packages when installing rpmfusion's steam on fedora
8,232
Solution 1
As per the comments, the problem was with duplicate packages (~460 of them) from a crash during dnf update. The errors were about 32 bit libs conflicting with 64 bit libs of the older version when I also had newer 64 bit libs installed at the same time.
My solution was to remove the old ones with package-cleanup --cleandupes and reinstall the new ones (as some of them hadn't finished installing):
dnf repoquery --duplicated | sed "1 d" > dupes
cat dupes | sed 's/^\(.*\)-[0-9]\+:.*/\1/' | sort | uniq | grep -v kernel > reinstall
package-cleanup --cleandupes #uses dnf via /bin/yum (now a passthrough + warning script)
#check only the dupes are being removed before confirming "y"
sudo dnf reinstall $(cat reinstall)
steam installed just fine with the 32 bit libs after this.
Solution 2
I had a similar problem as the OP. I did an update and the system failed during the update. I ran it again and things seemed fine.
Trying to install steam gave me similar package conflicts. I also had duplicate packages as well. Running the command dnf repoquery --duplicated showed all the duplicate packages.
I basically just did the autoremove command in dnf and then tried to install steam again.
dnf clean packages
dnf autoremove
dnf install steam
No more conflicts this time and it worked.
Notes I did read somewhere that autoremove can be kind of buggy sometimes so do use it with caution. Not sure if those bugs were fixed by now as the post I saw in a forum was dated back in October 2015 but it was something I found and thought I should mention it.

I have a fresh install of the KDE spin of fedora 22. Quite simple install instructions are given here to install steam:
- Download rpmfusion repos
sudo dnf install <downloaded rpms>sudo dnf install steam
However I get a bunch of conflicts as
steam.i686depends on other.i686libraries and being a 64 bit install I havex86_64. The conflicts are (of the formfile <something> from install of <i686> conflicts with file from package <x86_64>):elfutils-libelf-0.163-4.fc22.i686 fontconfig-2.11.94-4.fc22.i686 freetype-2.5.5-2.fc22.i686 gdk-pixbuf2-2.31.6-1.fc22.i686 gnutls-3.3.18-1.fc22.i686 krb5-libs-1.13.2-8.fc22.i686 libidn-1.32-1.fc22.i686 libstdc++-5.1.1-4.fc22.i686 p11-kit-0.23.1-2.fc22.i686 pam-1.1.8-19.fc22.i686 pango-1.36.8-6.fc22.i686I'm quite certain I don't want to replace my system with the 32 bit versions, but I definitely had steam installed fine on my last system. Does anyone know how steam should really be installed, or maybe how I could get these packages installed just for steam?
(I have installed nvidia drivers and their 32 bit version just fine, it's just the 32 bit libraries stopping me from actually installing steam)

skytux over 8 yearsIf the 32-bits packages come from the official Fedora repos then they shouldn't cause conflicts with 64-bits counterparts. I would like to see the full output.
-
jozxyqk over 8 years@skytux I've pasted some output, though not all because it's long. I got the list of conflicting packages with a
grep | sort | uniqfrom it though. -
jozxyqk over 8 yearsIt might have something to do with a failed
dnf update. When I first booted I updated, but froze mid way through (because of this) and had to restart. I tried looking for a "resume-transaction" like thing for dnf but gave up. -
skytux over 8 yearsFirstly you should fix the incomplete update, otherwise you won't be able to install anything else. Do an
dnf upgradefirst to resume the update and then try again with the install. Thanks for having posted the output, it is the only way to know what is going on :) -
jozxyqk over 8 yearsI ran
clean allandupgradeagain and it didn't seem to resume anything. I did find I had a newer kernel which wasn't being used and manuallydnf reinstalled it which fixed the issue.package-cleanup --problemsdoesn't find anything but seems to be trying to use yum anyway. -
skytux over 8 yearsIt is weird because, for example it wants to install
freetype-2.5.5-2.fc22.i686, but finds a conflict because you have a lower version likefreetype-2.5.5-1.fc22.x86_64. Before installing,dnfshould updatefreetype.x86_64to the latest version2.5.5-2. You could see if there are duplicated packages with this command:dnf repoquery --duplicated. But anyway,dnf upgradeshould work. -
jozxyqk over 8 years
dnf upgradestill says nothing to do.repoquery --duplicateddoes indeed give many duplicates, so I'd guess this is where my problem is. had a brief search but not sure if there is a way to fix it. maybe write a script to remove the newer versions and rundnf upgradeagain. -
skytux over 8 yearsYou could try to remove the duplicated packages with
dnf remove, but if I were you I'd go one by one. If it doesn't work, you may tryrpm -e. But first, I think you should update your RPM database withrpm --rebuilddb. -
jozxyqk over 8 years@skytux all fixed. deleted the old ones, reinstalled new just to be safe. thanks very much for taking the time to help!!

JAM about 8 yearsI am on Fedora 23 and I don't have the package-cleanup command. Nor is it something I can find on the repos. Is there another way I can run a similar command to
package-cleanup --cleandupes? I basically have a very similar situation as you have. -
JAM about 8 yearsNevermind, I figured it out. I will add it as an answer in case someone else needs to fix the issue on Fedora 23

bgStack15 almost 8 yearsKorora 22 Cinnamon. Same problem as OP: a corrupted dnf install put a mix of 64-bit and 32-bit drivers. My Palemoon Portable (yes, the Windows portable app in wine on GNU/Linux) broke. I followed these instructions and added specifically the elfutils-libs.i686 package based on my installed-list from a few months ago I saved to disk. Tada! Thanks so much, jozxyqk. -

bgStack15 over 7 yearsNow on Korora 25 Cinnamon, with only one set of "dnf update" since initial installation. I had this problem again, with just 4 duped packages. Now, though, the
