Woohoo, evidence someone uses ia64! patched upstream will be fixed for 3.2.12 |
Description of problem: yum-3.2.11-1 has broken ia64!!! in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rpmUtils/arch.py there used to be: # itanium "ia64": "i686", which I agree isn't actually correct, yes ia64 _can_ run i686 binaries (in emulation mode) but this honestly isn't used anymore and requires a closed source emulator so isn't a good thing for Fedora :) however, removing this line isn't the right thing to do. When this was removed yum was no longer smart enough to know that .noarch packages should be installed. The correct fix is: # itanium "ia64": "noarch", Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.11-1.fc9 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
