Description of problem: Yum will not upgrade from an installed .noarch.rpm to a higher versioned .i386.rpm (or any other arch-specific pkg) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.0.5-1.fc6 How reproducible: yum install firmware-addon-dell.noarch yum upgrade In the current fedora extras repo, there is 1.2.6-1.noarch available for firmware-addon-dell (old, busted). There is also 1.2.11-1.{i386,x86_64} (new hotness.) If you install the noarch ver, yum will not upgrade to the arch-specific version. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install firmware-addon-dell.noarch 2. yum upgrade 3. notice lack of updates listed for firmware-addon-dell Actual results: yum upgrades lower-version noarch.rpm to a higher versioned arch-specific.rpm. Expected results: yum leaves the old, busted version. Additional info: I will be submitting a request to remove the noarch.rpm from the repo soon, or if this cannot be fixed, might possibly convert my pkg back to noarch.
