I am having a problem, where yum is not getting the dependencies present in one of the directories of the local repository. Structure...same as dulug.duke mirror, is as: [base] redhat/$releasever/$relesearch -> Files of base are however, in i386, i586, i686 & noarch directories which are in redhat/9/ directory -> Headers directory is in redhat/9/ [updates] redhat/updates/$releasever -> Files of the updates are in i386,i586, i686 & noarch directories which are in redhat/updates/9/x86/ directory. -> Headers Directory is in redhat/9/ yum-arch commands given are: yum-arch /var/ftp/pub/yum-repository/redhat/9/ yum-arch /var/ftp/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/9/ To me it seems that due to some structure problem, the header for the required dependencies added at a later stage (in noarch directory of the updates), are not being looked at by yum. My question is: What exactly does yum-arch do, in what sequence & what directory locations it uses for the headers directory. e.g. parse headers of the entire sub-directory tree till x levels deep...put info in headers.info in headers directory at the directory at xx location, then copies the old headers in the .oldheaders directory in the headers directory and then copies headers from xx location to the headers diectory given in the yum-arch command. Getting to be too muddled ;-)) I hope someone can understand the above paragraph. I have fiddled with exactarch 1/0 but it is not working. My assumption is that yum is getting headers from some directory that has been created by the mirroring process and not by my command or it is not parsing the noarch directory or something similar. I have most probably done some fiasco in creating my repository or running yum arch on it but I am not able to find out what! Hope someone can help me. With best regards. Sanjay.
