Description Jason Pepas 2006-07-17 16:57:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

The i386 and x86_64 versions of tcp_wrappers share files in common, which means
that one of them will clobber the other's files.  Thus, it is not possible for
the 'rpm --verify' command to work for both rpms.  One of them will *always*
fail, depending upon the order of installation.

Demonstration:

# rpm -ivh --replacepkgs

# rpm -ivh --replacepkgs

Comment 1 Tomas Janousek 2007-01-18 15:07:37 UTC 
This is the way rpm -V currently works for multilib packages.
