Description of problem: openssl097a 32-bit compatibility libraries not available in 64-bit repository. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssl097a-0.9.7a-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to do "yum install openssl097a.i386" on a x86_64 machine 2. see it fail Actual results: openssl097a.i386 not installed Expected results: openssl097a.i386 installed Additional info: You can work around this by manually downloading the openssl097a-0.9.7a-9.i386.rpm from the i386 repository and install it on the x86_64 machine. It installs cleanly on top of the openssl097a-0.9.7a-9.x86_64.rpm without any force flags, so there are no compatibility problems preventing you from installing the rpm. All other 32-bit libraries that I need to run my programs on a 64-bit machine are available in the 64-bit repository, so I can't understand why this one is an exception.
This 32 bit package will land in the x86_64 trees in the upcoming release of RHEL 5.4. Regards, Chris *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 482800 ***
