Description Philip Van Hoof 2005-12-22 16:49:13 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)

Description of problem:
When installing using the default Fedora Core 4 Xen 3.0 installer, some packages are wrongfully being replaced with i386 ones. 

One can easily destroy the x86_64 Fedora Core 4 install.

The used installer was:

http://bits.xensource.com/Xen/latest/xen-3.0-x86_32-fc4.bin.tar


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download http://bits.xensource.com/Xen/latest/xen-3.0-x86_32-fc4.bin.tar
2. Untar it
3. Install it on a x86_64 Fedora Core 4 install
  

Actual Results:  The Fedora Core 4's package database now contains a few wrong i386 packages

Expected Results:  Installer should have at least warned me that the architecture is incorrect

Additional info:

It would be very useful to have x86_64 support

We can't really fix packages that are not created by Red Hat or even part of
Fedora.  But integrated Xen packages are a feature of FC5, so this should be
fixed there --- we don't yet have the kernel built for rawhide for x86_64, but
that is planned for FC5test3.
