Summary: We prove two results on packing common bases of two matroids. First, we show that the computational problem of common base packing reduces to the special case where one of the matroids is a direct sum of uniform matroids. Second, we give a counterexample to a conjecture of Chow, which proposed a sufficient condition for the existence of a common base packing. Chow's conjecture is a generalization of Rota's basis conjecture.
