That is wrong advice. You don't need --nodeps to remove the 32-bit packages. You could do things similar to
rpm -qa|grep .i*86$|xargs rpm -e
to remove all of them at once without introducing broken dependencies.
I would run a
yum remove glibc.i686
That one will easily tear down the entire 32 bit world. ;-)
Just be sure you do not have specific (proprietary?) 32 bit apps you want to keep.
I really do wonder what all the fuss is about.
I run a 64 bit systems and have managed to accumulate some 32 bit libs along the way. OK, maybe it takes up just over 1GB of disk space but on a 750GB drive that is way less than 1%.
It isn't as if this is MS windows with dll's getting loaded into memory willy nilly.
Yes it may be just me....but micro managing this, to me, is more trouble than it is worth.
