Hello,

The System Information Screen shows that perl needs to be updated. I click to update and get a screen full of errors that looks like this:

Transaction Check Error: file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm from install of perl-5.8.8-38.el5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-32.el5_7.6.i386 file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Digest.pm from install of perl-5.8.8-38.el5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-32.el5_7.6.i386

This is a 64 bit install and all the other updates install fine. Any idea how to fix the conflict?

Thanks,

Tony

Howdy,

It sounds like you’re seeing the issue here in the section titled “Why Is 32bit Perl installed on my 64bit CentOS System”:
