Description Christopher McCrory 2003-07-27 15:35:57 EDT 
Description of problem:

for the opteron platform there can be multiple rpms installed with the same
name but different architectures  $package-amd64.rpm and $package-i386.rpm 

It is difficult to remove one without the other

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install taroon opteron
2. rpm -e ncurses-devel
3.
    
Actual results:
[chrismcc@office180 chrismcc]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.3
ncurses-5.3-4
[chrismcc@office180 chrismcc]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5.3
ncurses-5.3-4

[chrismcc@office180 chrismcc]$ sudo rpm -e ncurses
error: "ncurses" specifies multiple packages
error: Failed dependencies:
        libncurses.so.5 is needed by (installed) crash-3.5-2



Expected results:

works

Additional info:

[chrismcc@office180 chrismcc]$ sudo rpm -e crash
[chrismcc@office180 chrismcc]$ sudo rpm -e ncurses
error: "ncurses" specifies multiple packages
[chrismcc@office180 chrismcc]$ sudo rpm -e ncurses.i386
[chrismcc@office180 chrismcc]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5.3
ncurses-5.3-4


adding '.i386' seems to solve this , but as far as I can tell, this is not
documented anywhere
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2003-08-01 12:16:01 EDT 
Yes not documented, because it's unclear atm whethere the rather
feeble mechanism of adding .arch is supportable at the moment.
It's pure mechanism, better policies are needed imho.

WONTFIX becuase it's too early to document a rather flimsy mechanism,
the issue of elf32 vs elf64 is a far, far more complicated issue.
