That is wrong advice. You don't need --nodeps to remove the 32-bit packages. You could do things similar to rpm -qa|grep \.i\*86$|xargs rpm -e to remove all of them at once without introducing broken dependencies. # rpm -qa |grep -v noarch|grep -v _64|grep -v pubkey # -- Michael Schwendt Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) - Linux 3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64 loadavg: 0.00 0.01 0.05 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
