yum gives multilib version error

I have two different arch of same package. rpm -qa libvirt-client gives output as-

libvirt-client-3.9.0-14.el7_5.2.i686 and libvirt-client-1.2.17-13.el7.x86_64. When I give yum install libvirt-client it gives me a error as-
Error: Multilib version problems found.
Protected multilib versions: libvirt-client-3.9.0-14.el7_5.6.x86_64 != libvirt-client-3.9.0-14.el7_5.2.i686.

Is there a way to install both of these packages?.
And moreover package-cleanup --dupes does not return these packages.

Solution

  • yum has as option --setopt which helps in ignoring the multilib problem. As -

    yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false install 'packageName'
