Recently I ran into a bit of difficulty with:

/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:
/sbin/ldconfig: /lib/libncurses.so.5 is not a symbolic link


...and so on. (several other errors of a similar nature)
I requested the aid of Advanced Services to fix, and they did.



However, the day after (from logwatch):

--------------------- yum Begin ------------------------


Packages Installed:
zlib-devel.i386 1.2.1.2-1.2

---------------------- yum End -------------------------


Why is i386 installing on an x86_64 machine?
I asked in the advanced ticket, but it was sent off to accounting before the guys got to see it. As I presently have no issues with my server, i didn't feel the need to bother them with a new ticket.

Anyone know why this happened?
