From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); es-ES; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Packages are duplicated with different versions and architectures. In many I have 4 installed: old version (i386 and x86_64), and updated version (i386 and x86_64). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.4.0-0.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC4 on a x86_64 system. 2. yum update 3. Check packages with: rpm -qa --qf "%{N}-%{V}-%{R}.%{ARCH}\n" Actual Results: Many packages have i386 and x86_64 versions installed (i don't know if this is on purpose) and two versions, eg: arts-1.4.0-1.i386 arts-1.4.0-1.x86_64 arts-1.4.2-0.fc4.1.i386 arts-1.4.2-0.fc4.1.x86_64 Expected Results: Only one package, x86_64 architecture. Additional info: I can attach the package list if needed.
This appears related to bug #161038 where the same thing happens with up2date.
On this first run - did you yum hang or exit abnormally?
Nope. Yum appeared to work fine, it didn't complain, give any errors or warnings.
See also bug #175431.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 161038 ***
NOT SO FAST! This bug was closed as a duplicate of bug #161038, but then 161038 was closed because it pertained to up2date which is gone. Yum is NOT gone, however, so please don't close this very serious and currently existing bug! In fact, it would make more sense to mark 161038 as a duplicate of this bug since some of the discussion there is still relevant.
