Hi Alan,

Thank you!  The script unscrambled things to the point that
I was able to finish the job manually.

I had a duplicate "qt" in both 32 bit and 64 bit.  I removed
the 32 bit.  Now things are much better behaved.

I also found that if you add "--setopt=protected_multilib=false"
to your yum run string, you don't get the protected error,
but the just kicks the can down the road.
