Hello,

I am running Fedora 22, and recently when I try to use dnf to update my system, it keeps failing with the following:
Looks like I already have the x86_64 version of the nss-* packages installed, and for some reason dnf is trying to "update" them by installing the i686 version. This keeps throwing off the dnf update process and is frustrating. I tried the "clean-all" and "clean packages" command, etc., but nothing helped. I also can't remove the existing nss-* packages because looks like many other things depend on them.

How do I troubleshoot this? Thank you.

Your error : Looks like a bug in the package.

You can try $ dnf deplist nss-3.20.1-1.0.fc22.i686

If nothing is using nss-3.20.1-1.0.fc22.i686, it can be removed :
# dnf remove nss-3.20.1-1.0.fc22.i686

multi lib systems will need both the 32 and 64 bit rpm's

if you install say "wine 64" it WILL need also the 32 bit rpm's

as above you can try to remove 32 bit support ???
but it is not likely to work well

but it might ?

Can't see a deplist option to dnf. Looks like it's only for yum.

Maybe:
might give some relevant info.

I just checked with tomwest's rpm command, and apparently for some reason Thunderbird and Firefox need it.

I tried using the YUM Extender (DNF) GUI program to update, and unchecked the nss-* packages while trying to update everything else. However, now it says there is a "dependency error", wha??? I've accumulated 59 updates that I can't install because of all this... is there anything else I can try? Thanks.
