Feature request understood. But consider that only you, not rpm, can tell upgrade from i386 -> x86_64. There's no unambiguous way of detecting when a platform changes, consider what happens when a mobo or a cpu is replaced. Not really a problem. I guess it is safe to assume that if someone decides to upgrade from i386 to x86_64 that they know what they're doing. Grepping /etc/rpm/platform to determine if the file contains i386-redhat-linux or x86_64-redhat-linux should not be a big deal, and if platform contains the wrong info, then change it. This would save a lot of pain. Anaconda writes /etc/rpm/platform, not rpm itself. Since this has no way of getting changed for FC6, switching version to devel. Created attachment 176781 [details]
Show architecture upgrade confirmation dialog
When architectures of booted instalation media and /etc/rpm/platform are
different, ask for confirmation
