Description David Jansen 2008-05-19 15:10:36 UTC
Description of problem:
An attempt to install NX on Fedora 9 x86_84 fails. Short summary: nx is only
available as an i386 package in the Fedora repositories, freenx-server expects a
 x86_64 package or at leadt a /usr/lib64/nx directory, which is not provided by
the nx package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nx-3.2.0-27.fc9.i386.rpm
freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc9.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

# yum install freenx-server

Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/lib64/nx is needed by package
freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc9.x86_64 (updates)

As can be seen here, freenx-server has nx as a dependency and yum pulls it in,
but since it has the wrong architecture, dependencies are still not met, and the
installation fails.

I have checked other mirrors, and haven't seen a nx.x86_64 package yet, so it is
not just a problem of a mirror not being in sync.
