Description of problem: When one does a yum update on a specific package ABC, yum searches for updates for packages (say XYZ) that require the installed ABC version-release. It is expected that yum would do a search for XYZ updates for all available archs, but it does not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.1-5.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: To reproduce on a 64-bit installation of RHEL5: 1. Install an older version (than the one in rhn) of postgresql (only 64- bit available) and postgresql-devel (32- and 64- bit). The RHEL5 base DVD has older versions of these. 2. Subscribe to rhn and run 'yum update postgresql' Actual results: Yum exits with an error: Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies Error: Package postgresql-devel needs postgresql = 8.1.4-1.1, this is not available. The reason for the above error is that the yum update command causes yum to pack only postgresql and postgresql-devel (64-bit) in the transaction set. This leaves the 32-bit postgresql-devel, which needs an older version of postgresql, still on the system. Expected results: Upgrade should succeed, with the new upgrade bringing in the new postgresql and the new 32- and 64- bit postgresql-devel packages
