exclude i686 packages in yum.conf

  • 772

I'm trying to exclude *.i686 packages from installing when I try to install the x86_64 version of libcrypto.so.10.

If I put any of the following (one at a time) into my /etc/yum.conf under [main]:

multilib_policy=best
exactarch=1
exclude=*.i386 *.i686
exclude=*.i?86

And I try to install the package it says that it isn't there:

sudo yum install libcrypto.so.10
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin, tsflags, versionlock
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
No package libcrypto.so.10 available.
Error: Nothing to do

However if I remove any of those settings it tries to install both i686 and the x86_64 version of libcrypto.so.10. I am using Centos version: CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)

How can I exclude *.i686 packages in the /etc/yum.conf file?

centos yum

  1. You couldn't install libcrypto.so.10 by mentioned command. First you should locate which package contains this library by executing yum provides libcrypto.so.10 and then install package.

    Or you could directly install required package.
