It is normal if you want flash to work, since its only 32bit and you need to
have lots of 32bit code running to make it happen. You can try using
--skip-broken to get it to install. You may also want to install
libflashsupport.{x86_64,i386} and then try installing the official flash rpm
from adobe.
I always get a little nervous when yum wants to install or
(especially) remove hundreds of packages.... But I guess there's no
helping it in this case.
I'm not sure if I knew about libflashsupport. Thanks for the pointer;
I'll try that later.
