Description of problem: I am frequently finding problems with RPMs on my system, after hearing about the new project to bring RPM into the 22nd century I cheered with joy. Most of my problems come down to having multiple packages installed for different architechtures this issue became evident today in fact while trying to install the i386 version of firefox. Using x86_64 means that flash is broken with the native architechture version so i386 is needed if you want to watch youtube. After trying to do an rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs firefox.....i386.rpm and trying to use flash I was surprised it was still not working. Checking RPM i found [root@ws58 klattimer]# rpm -q firefox firefox-1.5.0.9-1.fc6 firefox-1.5.0.9-1.fc6 This raises an eyebrow. Both the same package so complaints like; "firefox-1.5.0.9-1.fc6 specifies more than one package" isn't a great help. So what I am asking for is to PLEASE have the architechture of the RPM in the name of the package, and to have this architechture also displayed when doing an rpm -qi of the package in question. Its not a big ask and would help lots of x86_64 users out there. A related request would be to have an rpm -e option to allow you to remove all installed versions of a package.
Put this line in /etcrpm/macros: %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} WORKSFORME
That should have been /etc/rpm/macros.
Moving to devel to avoid "timeouting", the default should really be changed someday, painful or not.
Fixed upstream, it'll find it's way to Fedora eventually...
