Description Jesse Keating 2008-03-12 15:18:52 UTC

Part of perl-5.10.0 a noarch package became an arch specific subpackage of
something else.  Yum seems to have installed the new arch specific one inline
with the old noarch one, leaving both installed with different versions:

$ rpm -q perl-IO-Compress-Base
perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.008-14.fc9.x86_64
perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.005-4.fc9.noarch

Comment 1 Seth Vidal 2008-03-13 07:25:46 UTC

is there also a perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.008-14.fc9.i386 in the repo?

Comment 2 Seth Vidal 2008-03-13 07:42:02 UTC

can you run:
yum list updates on a system with ONLY perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.005-4.fc9.noarch
installed?

In my scenario there was, but that was because I was using the static repos and
adding both the i386 and the x86_64 repos.  In the real world, that package does
not appear to be multilib, yum list only shows the x86_64 one for me, unlike yum
list perl which shows both the x86_64 installed one and the i386 available one.

It'll take me some time to recreate the scenario, I hope to be able to whilst
testing beta candidates today.

we've done a lot of interesting changes in 3.2.20 that may impact this case. If you can test it w/3.2.20 it would be appreciated.

Comment 7 seth vidal 2009-01-21 18:01:52 UTC

closing this insufficient data - but I think the recent 3.2.20 changes fix a fair bit of this problem.
