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?
