Hi,
i have a comment about https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840543
My feeling is that the yum message should be improved.
There are many questions from confused users about "what to do now?", e.g.:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/42524/yum-update-multilib-version-problems-found-for-package-keyutils-libs/
I think it would be better to provide users with some few basic yum
diagnostic commands first.
The last step suggested by the error message: yum check + google for how
to handle yum duplicates was needed to solve the problem
- this simply does not feel right. Users may break the system if the
google wrong answers.
Every yum error should provide such a basic guide - yum itself should
teach users how to use it.
Best regards,
Marcin
