Description Mukund Sivaraman 2008-06-28 16:47:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

tcl 8.5.2 (x86_64) is installed. I try to install tk, it pulls in tcl 8.5.1
(i386). Apps such as gitk don't work then.

[root@jurassic ~]# rpm -qa tcl
tcl-8.5.2-1.fc9.x86_64
[root@jurassic ~]# rpm -qa tk
[root@jurassic ~]# yum install tk

Comment 1 Mukund Sivaraman 2008-06-28 16:51:43 UTC 
Updating title to make more sense.

Also, apps such as gitk and git-gui are broken (which is how I first noticed the
issue after a yum update). yum them complains of an existing update to tcl.i386
package (because there's one) which it can't install because tk.x86_64 depends
on the old tcl.i386 package.

It seems wrong that tcl.x86_64 should depend on tcl.i386 when both packages have
i386 and x86_64 RPMs.

Correction: It seems wrong that tk.x86_64 should depend on tcl.i386 when both
packages have i386 and x86_64 RPMs.
