Description of Problem: (usability grumbles) Where there are several packages with the same name but different architecture, they are indistinguishable from each other in the "Install" window. Also, for installed packages, it doesn't seem possible to tell which arch version of the package was installed. (possibly RPM limitations rather than GnoRPM?) How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert and mount Red Hat 7.1 installation disc 1 (for example) 2. Fire up GnoRPM 3. Click Install 4. Observe duplicate entries for "gzip", "kernel", "glibc", etc. 5. Note that it is not possible to tell which arch version was installed by querying the installed version of one of the above 3 packages. Entries for "kernel" might appear as kernel-2.4.2-2 kernel-2.4.2-2 kernel-2.4.2-2 Would look better as kernel-2.4.2-2 (i386) kernel-2.4.2-2 (i586) kernel-2.4.2-2 (i686)
Ah, that does indeed make it slightly hard to use.
In order to get the developers and maintainers of GnoRPM to look at this bug I have moved it to the GnoRPM category in the Gnome bug tracker. It can be found at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58445, where you can add yourself to the cc-field if you want to recieve information about changes to the bug tatus.
