yum-3.2.22-5.fc11.noarch

we recently made the largish qt-doc pkg noarch (currently in updates-testing).

yum install qt-doc
chooses the older arch'd one.

Here's snippet from
yum -d10 install qt-doc
...

Comment 1 seth vidal 2009-05-28 19:45:03 UTC
okay, the problem here is that yum is not comparing these two pkgs against each other b/c they are not the same arch but it really needs to be b/c for this situation these are arch-comparable.

Just to be sure - there isn't a qt-doc.i386 installed/existent, too is there?

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2009-05-28 21:14:28 UTC
no qt-doc.i386 on x86_64 anyway (not multilib'd).

Comment 3 seth vidal 2009-05-30 03:28:27 UTC
an obvious work around for the moment - make the new noarch pkg obsolete the old version of the same.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-05-30 17:31:37 UTC
ok, I'll try that.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 16:29:57 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Let's take this off the Qt451 blocker as we worked around it in our Qt packaging (with the self-Obsoletes hack), but I'm adding it to F12Target as it's impacting the NoarchSubpackages feature.
