Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I'm not able to reproduce with the given steps: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -i archtest-1.0-1.i686.rpm [root@localhost ~]# rpm -i archtest-1.0-1.noarch.rpm package archtest-1.0-1.noarch is already installed The message is a bit misleading but on i686, you can *not* install different archs of same package version in parallel. The closest thing I can come to reproducing this is when one tries to install both packages in the same transaction: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -i archtest-1.0-1.i686.rpm archtest-1.0-1.noarch.rpm [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q archtest archtest-1.0-1.i686 [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep archtest archtest-1.0-1.i686 [root@localhost ~]# The behavior becomes more obvious with -v to explain what happens: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -iv archtest-1.0-1.i686.rpm archtest-1.0-1.noarch.rpm warning: package archtest = 1.0-1 was already added, skipping archtest = 1.0-1 Preparing packages for installation... archtest-1.0-1 [root@localhost ~]# Ie the second package of same NEVR (but different arch) is simply skipped: trying to install both does not make sense, but it can worked around so rpm doesn't make a lot of noise of it. |
Description of problem: Rpm allows to install rpm packages with the same name and version but with different architecture. 'Rpm -q', 'rpm -qa' shows only one installed package in the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.8.0-12.el6.i686 How reproducible: 100% reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Generate two packages with the same name and version but with different architecture. For example: auto-1.11.1-5.i386.rpm, auto-1.11.1-5.noarch.rpm 2. Install packages to the system with 'rpm -i' rpm -i auto-1.11.1-5.i386.rpm rpm -i auto-1.11.1-5.noarch.rpm 3.1 Run rpm -q command rpm -q auto-1.11.1-5.i386 rpm -q auto-1.11.1-5.noarch 3.2 Run 'rpm -qa |grep auto' command Actual results: 3.1 For 'rpm -q' # rpm -q auto-1.11.1-5.i386 auto-1.11.1-5.i386 # rpm -q auto-1.11.1-5.noarch package auto-1.11.1-5.noarch is not installed 3.2 # rpm -qa|grep auto shown only auto-1.11.1-5.i386 package Expected results: 3.1 # rpm -q auto-1.11.1-5.i386 auto-1.11.1-5.i386 # rpm -q auto-1.11.1-5.noarch auto-1.11.1-5.noarch 3.2 shown packages: auto-1.11.1-5.i386 auto-1.11.1-5.noarch
