Thanks to all folks who have responded to my request!
I have following question to clarify myself.
I usually run 'rpm -qi pkgname' and it gives details regarding the package
installed. I was wondering if there was way to tell by looking at the output of
the command (rpm -qi) if its 32 or 64bit RPM package instead of using querytype
option to find about it.
Sorry If my question sounds incorrect.
Thank you,
AN

I don't know the proper format by heart, but there is a way to specify
the architechture. Something like
pkgname.i386
pkgname.x86_64
Don't know, however whether the same work for package groups.
if you want to install packages of a certain architecture by hand or in
the %post section, you'd use:
rpm -i --arch=i386 pkgname
rpm -i --arch=x86_64 pkgname
yum install pkganem.i386
yum install pkgname.x8664

You might want to try the following:
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"
To get a list of all the tags available use
rpm --querytags
Cheers,
Kurt
