At least rpm considers i[3456]86, athlon and arch as compatible to x86_64: /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc: arch_compat: athlon: i686 arch_compat: i686: i586 arch_compat: i586: i486 arch_compat: i486: i386 arch_compat: i386: noarch [...] arch_compat: x86_64: athlon noarch -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
