[Yum] Funky arches in vendor RPMs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



>From /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc:

arch_compat: x86_64: amd64 athlon noarch
arch_compat: amd64: x86_64 athlon noarch
arch_compat: ia32e: x86_64 athlon noarch

Doesn't this effectively say that amd64 and x86_64 should play together?
