Exactly.... if you type "man rpm" it will show you how you get it to print
the arch string (usually i686 or x86_64). Since you seem unabel to read a
man page what you want to type is;
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{ARCH}\n" | grep coreutils
(or miss out the VERSION if you want to see somethign similar to yum)

Hi Stephen,
thanks for the reply.
I am not sure that I do understand you (sorry for my stupidity).
I have
=======================================
[root@pcfarm-10 ~]# yum list | grep coreutil
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C
coreutils.x86_64 5.97-34.el5 installed
policycoreutils.x86_64 1.33.12-14.8.el5 installed
policycoreutils-gui.x86_64 1.33.12-14.8.el5 installed
policycoreutils-newrole.x86_64 1.33.12-14.8.el5 installed
[root@pcfarm-10 ~]# rpm -q --file /bin/dd
coreutils-5.97-34.el5
=============================================
Presumably all packages are appropriate (they have suffix x86_64) as shown by
yum.
At the same time rpm does show packages without above suffixes
=========================
[root@pcfarm-10 ~]# rpm -qa | grep coreutil
policycoreutils-1.33.12-14.8.el5

Subject: Re: coreutils for 64 bit
It says it only copied 2.1GB. You are runnig a 64bit OS. You reinstalld the
same coreutils package. You need to change the format of the package names
from "rpm -qa" if you want to see the architecture ("man rpm" should help
you figure out how).

Hi,
I just paid attention that utility 'dd' uses just 2 GB even I use greater
block size (BS). For example

i.e. no package with name coreutils.x86_64
I failed to find anything on the topic in scientific linux mailing list.
Does somebody know about dd for 64 bit ?
Many thanks in advance,
Andrey
