Why has yum behavior changed in F9?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Today I installed F9 on an x86_64 laptop which previously was running F8 and so far I find F9 to be a regression from F8. In F8 when I ran:

 yum -y install gtk2

it would install both the i386 version and the x86_64 version of the package. In F9 it only installs the x86_64 version, I have to explicitly install the i386 version. Why the regression?

The reason I see this as a problem is if you download the Adobe acrobat reader package for Linux from Adobe it is built for i386 and consequently will not install unless you install the required i386 packages.
Furthermore:

[root@localhost ~]# yum list all gtk+
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Available Packages
gtk+.i386 1:1.2.10-61.fc9 fedora gtk+.x86_64 1:1.2.10-61.fc9 fedora
shows both the i386 and the x86_64 versions, but:

yum -y install "gtk+*"

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Only installed the x86_64 packages, when I would have expected, via the globbing syntax, that yum would have installed all packages matching gtk+.

So what's going on and how do I force yum to always install both the i386 and x86_64 versions of a package?
