今天帮一个朋友update系统时，发现其中一台server居然提示：

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

经过仔细观察是perl的问题，其他软件单独update都没有问题。

看看错误内的大部分信息，就大概可以猜出问题的症结。64位系统内的i386和x64软件的冲突，那么卸载掉i386的冲突相关软件，一般可以解决问题。

两种情况，要不把perl的升级忽略掉，要不卸载了perl的i386，如果是其他软件的冲突，一样对待。

yum update --exclude=perl

找出要冲突的软件

rpm -q perl --qf '%{NAME} %{VERSION} %{ARCH}'

得到输出：

perl 5.8.8 x86_64
perl 5.8.8 i386

然后卸载掉冲突的i386包：

rpm -e perl.i386

再次升级，搞定！ 其他软件请自行参考本文即可。
