Description Bill Nottingham 2007-09-06 13:54:06 UTC
Description of problem:

If I've got a x86_64 package installed, and I want to install a i386 version of
it for compat, yum refuses to install it.

[root@nostromo Desktop]# rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"
pulseaudio-lib
pulseaudio-lib-0.9.7-0.10.svn20070905.fc8.x86_64

[root@nostromo Desktop]# yum install
pulseaudio-lib-0.9.7-0.10.svn20070905.fc8.i386.rpm

rpm installs it fine:
