Solve the problem that prompts transaction Check error when Yum update

Today, when I was helping a friend update the system, I found one of the servers that prompted:

Omit 100 lines in the middle, it's all about Perl.

Error Summary
-------------

After careful observation it is Perl's problem that other software updates alone are fine.

If you look at most of the information in the error, you can probably guess the crux of the problem. 64-bit system i386 and x64 software conflict, then uninstall the i386 conflict-related software, can generally solve the problem.

Either way, ignore the Perl upgrade, or uninstall Perl's i386 and treat it as if it were a conflict with other software.

Yum Update--exclude=perl

Find software to conflict with

Rpm-q perl--qf '%{name}%{version}%{arch} '

Get output:

Perl 5.8.8 x86_64
Perl 5.8.8 i386

Then uninstall the conflicting i386 package:

Rpm-e perl.i386

Upgrade again, fix it! Other software please refer to this article.
