174	YUM install zlib gives weird errors	Mat		"When trying to set up pre-requisites for OO 4.2.1, I did ""yum install zlib"". This (after download the i686 version comes back with error:
Transaction Check Error:
  package zlib-1.2.5-5.oc00.i686 is already installed
  file /@unixroot/usr/lib/z.dll from install of zlib-1.2.5-5.oc00.i686 conflicts
 with file from package zlib-1.2.5-5.oc00.i386

If this is already installed, fine.
But why does it report a conflict with the 386 version? If this really causes a problem, then one of the two should not be installed. A ""rpm --rebuilddb"" didn't fix this. Can this be a YUM logic error, in that the 386 version isn't there but it still reports it?
This same error happens on almost all OO 4.1.2 pre-requisites. I m reluctant to go on until this is clear.
I cannot see the yum version because ""yum version"" doesn't work, see ticket 173."	defect	closed	major		yum		medium	invalid
