Yum Dependency Problem - Newer Version Already Installed

Asked by flashjordan in Red Hat Linux, RPM Installer, CentOS

Tags: yum, rpm, unix, red hat, fedora, imagemagick, ghostscript

Hello,

I'm trying to install ImageMagick using "yum install ImageMagick", this appears to work fine, except it fails because:
package ghostscript-8.64-9.3.el5.x86_64 (which is newer than ghostscript-8.15.2-9.11.el5.i386) is already installed

Why is it failing because I have a newever version?

I can't uninstall this version because I need this new version and not the old version, plus I remember is being extremely difficult to install so I don't want to remove it and have to go through that again.

I know that ImageMagick runs with my version of ghostscript because I was running it before, I just removed ImageMagick and now I want to install it again.

How can I force ImageMagick to install?

Thanks!
