SupportProblem On some x86_64 systems, yum update fails due to a conflict between files from the i386 and the x86_64 dbus packages.
SupportAnswer It seems as if the installer installs i386 and x86_64 versions of the dbus packages, although there is no need for the i386 version on x86_64 systems.

An easy solution is to remove the i386 version by doing a 

yum remove dbus.i386

(please note that to achieve this it may be necessary to remove some other packages first, by running 

yum remove xulrunner-devel.i386 hal-devel hal-gnome

A more drastic approach would be to remove ALL 32bit packages from the system by doing a 

yum remove *.i386
yum remove *.i686

Make sure you are running a 64bit system before executing these commands wink

Once the interfering 32bit packages are removed, yum update should finish properly.
