Other way around. The installation process installs a combination of
i686 and i386 glibc rpms (why? I don't know.)
Thusly...
root# rpm -q --qf "%{name} %{version} %{release} %{arch}\n" `rpm -qa | grep
glibc`
glibc 2.2.4 26 i686
glibc-common 2.2.4 26 i386
glibc-devel 2.2.4 26 i386
The update server has
[root@ino0l001 rhas2.1]# grep glibc headers/header.info
0:glibc-common-2.2.4-31.7.i386=up2date/glibc-common-2.2.4-31.7.i386.rpm
0:glibc-devel-2.2.4-31.7.i386=up2date/glibc-devel-2.2.4-31.7.i386.rpm
0:compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386=RedHat/RPMS/compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm
0:glibc-2.2.4-26.i686=RedHat/RPMS/glibc-2.2.4-26.i686.rpm
0:glibc-2.2.4-31.7.i386=up2date/glibc-2.2.4-31.7.i386.rpm
0:glibc-profile-2.2.4-31.7.i386=up2date/glibc-profile-2.2.4-31.7.i386.rpm
And here's a grep of the output. I'll mail the entire -d4 output in a
minute.
