Hello, I've found a minor bug on yum, in function getupdatedhdrlist at the clientStuff module. It only appears for packages with multiple archs, and I have seen it on `yum list` (probably info and similar commans also), but it does not interfere with actual install/updating of packages. In my case, I have installed glibc for i686, and I get (using repos at DUKE) # yum -d 0 list glibc glibc i386 2.3.2-27.9.7 updates glibc i686 2.3.2-27.9.7 db That means that I get listed a glibc-i386 which does not update anything, and/or that I don't get listed a glibc-i686 package which also lives in the 'updates' repository. When multiple architectures exists at the repository with the same version that the installed one, only the different archs get listed (a kernel-i386 shows at updates repo the i586, i686 and athlon packages) I have solved it in two steps (the two first patches). The first patch makes that all the archs living at the repository get listed. In my case, I get listed glibc-i386 and glibc-i686 The second one ensures that versions equals to the installed one does not get listed even for complexupdated packages. In my case, I get no glibc at updates repo. The third patch is intended to make simpler the code, but it assumes that for the nevral which comes from rpm database it also happens that evr(name) == evr(name,arch) for any existing arch of the package. Although this is quite sensible and should be true, it could produce unexpected results if I've been able to install for example glibc-i386-2.3.2 and glibc-i686-1.2.2 at the same time. In this sense, the third patch makes the code less robust, and I'm not sure if to incorporate it is actually a good idea. In any case, I sent it also.
