Description of problem: When loading a i386 channel and an x86_64 channel of the same distribution, the .noarch and .i386 packages in the x86_64 channel end up pointing to the packages from the i386 channel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-0.6.4-1.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load a channel for CentOS 5.3 for i386 2. Load a channel for CentOS 5.3 for x86_64 Actual results: The md5sum of the .i386 and .noarch packages served and shown in the web GUI for the x86_64 channel are that of the i386 distribution. The correct packages are in the /var/satellite tree but aren't used. Expected results: The md5sum of the .i386 and .noarch packages served and shown in the web GUI for the x86_64 channel are that of the x86_64 distribution. Additional info:
AFAIK i386 and noarch packages from x86_64 repo of Centos distributions *are* exactly the same as from i386 repo. x86_64: # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/agg-2.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm ... 2010-03-18 16:29:08 (250 KB/s) - `agg-2.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm' saved [140480/140480] # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/agg-2.4-2.1.i386.rpm ... 2010-03-18 16:29:50 (255 KB/s) - `agg-2.4-2.1.i386.rpm' saved [142748/142748] # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/alacarte-0.10.0-1.fc6.noarch.rpm ... 2010-03-18 16:30:26 (177 KB/s) - `alacarte-0.10.0-1.fc6.noarch.rpm' saved [146319/146319] i386: # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/agg-2.4-2.1.i386.rpm ... 2010-03-18 16:32:17 (174 KB/s) - `agg-2.4-2.1.i386.rpm.1' saved [142748/142748] # wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/alacarte-0.10.0-1.fc6.noarch.rpm ... 2010-03-18 16:31:41 (163 KB/s) - `alacarte-0.10.0-1.fc6.noarch.rpm.1' saved [146319/146319] compare: # md5sum agg* ala* a6f2fcdf73011b6e1f5e3db8e1705b89 agg-2.4-2.1.i386.rpm a6f2fcdf73011b6e1f5e3db8e1705b89 agg-2.4-2.1.i386.rpm.1 cd0b926fa5cc2aed3d92111ef14e4a84 agg-2.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm 29450ddb14c5de1ff6e280e0d2a4f797 alacarte-0.10.0-1.fc6.noarch.rpm 29450ddb14c5de1ff6e280e0d2a4f797 alacarte-0.10.0-1.fc6.noarch.rpm.1 So this an expected behavior.
