Petr, is ia32el installed and running? no, ia32el is not installed because it wasn't in standard/default channel. So its expected to have these errors without ia32el, right? Yes, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=237668#c10 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 237668 *** Hello, maybe I'm wrong, but would like to get a comment from yum-crew. If they thinks that this is really a dupe of bug 237668, then sorry and please close this. IMO yum should not try to install package.i386 when package.ia64 is already installed. Thanks in advance, Jan it sure looks like 237668 - ix86 was supposed to be something that could run on ia64 - so yum's arch list shows it as a possible thing to add there. What makes you think this is NOT like 237668? Two things are worth of note here: 1. On RHEL-5 yum is specifically patched so that ia64 is multilib. aware. 2. On RHEL-5 yum is specificlaly patched so that multilib_policy=all is the default (because that's how RHEL-5.0 shipped). This means that "install blah" means install all arches of blah, if the users changes to multilib_policy=best ... it'll do what they want. Thank you for the explanation. That explains it perfectly. Thanks you, Jan |
Description of problem: There are some biarch packages in standard rhel-ia64-server-5 channel. If I install some 32 arch packages on ia64 then there is post script error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel55 content from rhn.webqa I kickstarted ia64 from satellite, this satellite has rhel55 content from rhn.webqa today synced. (dell-pe700-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com synced 2010-03-29) How reproducible: always on ia64 Steps to Reproduce: 1.
