Hi,
does the "exactarch" in the yum.conf works only for the "yum
update/upgrade" command? Or effects the "exactarch" option "yum install"
too? I tried it and to me it looks that only "yum update/upgrade" are
affected by this option (which makes sense according to the man page :)):
---------------------
exactarch
1 or 0 - set to 1 to make yum update only update the
architec-
tures of packages that you have installed. IE: with this
enabled
yum will not install an i686 package to update an i386
package.
---------------------
I'm asking this question because I had the problem that yum refuses to
install a RPM on my system. The RPM has as architecture i686 but my base
architecture is i386 (according to yum, the CPU is a P4) and so yum
couldn't find the package with "yum install". Is there an option of the
exactarch parameter which affects "yum install" as well?
Bye,
J?rgen
