I understand how to remove them using ' yum remove \*.i?86 '. The
link below says that it breaks the installation of the x86_64 packages
by removing files which are shared between the architectures, i.e.
docs. How do you remove the .i?86 packages without effecting the
x86_64 packages?

Subject: Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.3 on X86_64: yum installs both i386 and x86_64
packages
Out of pure curiosity:
Does anybody know why both i386 and x86_64 are installed by default?
On other x86_64 platforms I rather tend to cherrypick the
Frank Cox posted above this line,
' yum remove \*.i?86 '
What I do is put the package name and then the platform. E.g php-cli.x86_64

I have just found this post regarding the removal of .i?86 packages on a
x86_64 machine, http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2590. I assume that
these issues still exist for CentOS 5.3. Anyone have advice on how to
remove the duplicate packages safely?
Thanks,
Patrick

On other x86_64 platforms I rather tend to cherrypick the i386
packages and install them on a case by case basis.

I removed all i?86 on my x86_64 servers. No problem.

Hi
I don't think this is a good idea. If we are talking about a workstation
for a user, better keep, but if you talking about a server, maybe.
Most probably you will have to install

It depends on what you're doing. If you really need some package which does
not exist in x86_64 version, use i386. If all you need exists in x86_64, there
is no need to us
