Hi, there! Nightly updates of SL6.4 are bombing because of missing boost-devel.i686 update in fastbugs:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: boost-devel-1.41.0-17.el6_4.i686 (@triumfcs-mirror-sl-fastbugs)
           Requires: boost = 1.41.0-17.el6_4
           Removing: boost-1.41.0-17.el6_4.x86_64 (@triumfcs-mirror-sl-fastbugs)
               boost = 1.41.0-17.el6_4
           Updated By: boost-1.41.0-18.el6.x86_64 (triumfcs-mirror-sl-fastbugs)
               boost = 1.41.0-18.el6
           Available: boost-1.41.0-11.el6_1.2.x86_64 (sl)
               boost = 1.41.0-11.el6_1.2
           Available: boost-1.41.0-15.el6_4.x86_64 (sl-security)
               boost = 1.41.0-15.el6_4
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Indeed, the update -devel.i686 is absent:

[root@titan01 ~]# yum list boost-devel boost-devel.i686

P.S. Time to renew my eternal complaint - 

?!?WHY DO BUSTED UPDATES TO SOME JUNK PACKAGE BLOCK ALL SECURITY UPDATES?!?

Why can't "they" fix it already now (in yum, in yum-autoupdate, etc)?

(The CERN version of yum-autoupdate does not block security updates).


P.P.S. Yes, right, there was this bike accident a while back, so maybe no fix in yum. RIP.
