And indeed, RPM isn't able to install both the i586 and i686 version of the kernel-devel package, even though there are no file conflicts. # rpm -ivh i686/kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1208_FC4.i686.rpm i586/kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1208_FC4.i586.rpm warning: package kernel-devel = 2.6.11-1.1208_FC4 was already added, skipping kernel-devel < 2.6.11-1.1208_FC4 error: error reading from file i586/kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1208_FC4.i586.rpm Note that the "error reading file" seems to be caused by something inside RPM, since I can cat the file just fine. I really don't know what the nicest way to fix this bug would be, so I guess I'd throw it out for discussion. The naive way would be to add the architecture to the name of the package - but that's butt ugly and sure to break things left and right. Any other ideas ?
My thought is that "multiple" isn't as important as "any". We need the ability to install any kernel-devel of a specific target architecture, version and release.
apt is able to install any specific version of a package with "apt-get install kernel-VERSION-RELEASE" even if the one you are specifying is not the newest. Is yum able to do this too?
