Description Pradeep Kilambi 2008-08-22 15:41:14 UTC

Description of problem:

RHN currently doesn't support em64t arch. This is causing package profile syncs to fail with em64t arch package clients. We jus need to make sure the db treats em64t as a valid arch and we should be good. Should be a easy fix.

Thanks,

Has there been any work around identified for this issue?

I have many systems that have the following Intel compiler packages installed, and all of them are failing to update from the satellite because they are unable to complete an 'up2date --package' or equivalent:

intel-iidbe101015-10.1.015-1
intel-icce101015-10.1.015-1
intel-iforte101015-10.1.015-1
intel-mkl100014-10.0p-014
intel-isubhe101015-10.1.015-1

Unfortunately the compilers are used regularly and can't be removed. Also, I can't seem to find the "rhn user story: 42956" listed above, the link is dead and searching doesn't find anything.

This is with
up2date-4.8.1-33.el4

Hoping someone has a workaround. Thanks

EM64T is just a variant of X86_64, you seem to have ICC (Intel C Compiler) for EM64T (specific) installed, see output from:

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n"|grep em64t

The right way to go about is to edit the file: 
“/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpmUtils.py” 

Insert the line, in first few import statements:

import platform

Edit line 159 of that file to include the un-recognized architecture (you won't find RPMs for EM64T) - for remove “arch” rpm TAG from package list, in our case “em64t”:

if arch != platform.machine():
    pkg_list.append([name, version, release, epoch])
elif arch:
    pkg_list.append([name, version, release, epoch, arch])

(take care of the correct indentation, its Python!)

Note that this may be overriden with the update to this file.

verified in webdev with the following system : voola.fjs-0-06.10202010

and the attchment shows the package with em64t architecture.
