Hi list
On a RHEL 4.0 , 64bit OS, I have noticed that few of the <package name>
for libraries etc are same for 32bit arch and 64 bit in rpm database.
e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# rpm -qa|grep xorg-x11-devel
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.18
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.18
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# rpm -qa|grep xorg-x11-libs
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.36
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.18
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.18
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.36
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]#
These redundant names are because one is for 32 bit and second for 64
bit arch. Now if someone install them manually i.e one after the other,
rpmdb complains saying you already have that package and you left with
no other option than using --force for these installation.
is't this weird or they are purposefuly like that?

Yashpal
