Description tom georgoulias 2002-08-29 23:01:38 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
up2date downloaded the header file for i586, even though I'm running an athlon
kernel on an Athlon CPU.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-2.9.46-1

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date -l as root.


Actual Results:  kernel-2.4.18-12.5.i586.hdr was downloaded.

Expected Results:  kernel-2.4.18-12.5.athlon.hdr should've been selected &
downloaded.

Comment 1 Alexandre Oliva 2002-08-30 01:13:32 UTC
ditto for glibc: it downloaded and installed the .i386 variant instead of the
.i686 one on my athlon box.

Comment 2 Michael Young 2002-08-30 11:52:48 UTC
It is not restricted to athlons either. up2date gave me an i386 glibc and
offered me a i586 kernel, for an i686 machine.

Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2002-08-30 23:30:00 UTC
hmm, grumble. I dont recall touching that code in a
long time. Not sure what the heck is going on here....

investigating...

Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2002-08-30 23:53:53 UTC
aieee, I found it. 

I'm a moron. I broke this real good. Should be fixed in 2.9.62 or
higher.
