Protected multilib versions error when updating yum in Fedora 16

Question

I have this kind of pattern:

OPEN whatevertag="blabla" content="what i need" blabla="blabla" content="some more content i need" CLOSE`

I need to get all the values for content (all of them) but they need to be between OPEN and CLOSE. How could I do that?

I know that I could get all of these with /content="(.*?)"/ if there was no need to match only what is between OPEN and CLOSE but right now I am stuck.

I need:

what i need
some more content i need

Thanks!

Solution 1

This should solve your problem:

$ sudo yum upgrade --setopt=protected_multilib=false --skip-broken

Solution 2

I was running into the same problem.

What I did was disable the adobe repo, based on this post fedoraforum. Then I removed the flashplugin. yum remove flash-plugin Then I reinstalled only the 64bit version of the flash_plugin (install).

This seems to be working for me now.

Solution 3

Try adding --enablerepo updates-testing to the command line.

This is generally a bad thing to do, even says so in the output from this. ` ...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).`
