I posted this on fedora.general, without success, so any help appreciated.
I'm running fc6 on an old i586 machine. yum updates the kernel correctly
(that is, kernel.i586), and does not install glibc.i686.
But, it continues to install openssl.i686, which causes no end of
trouble, because this a remote machine. openssl.i686 hoses sshd and rpm.
So someone actually has to crawl though a long shaftway, and set the
machine to allow telnet.
I have exactarch=1.
cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
uname -p
i586
cat fedora-updates.repo

I have no i686 packages installed:
rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.5-18.fc6.i386
please provide the output of:
cat /etc/rpm/platform
cat /etc/rpm/platform
athlon-redhat-linux
!!!
and
uname -a
uname -a
Linux MyMachine 2.6.22.9-61.fc6 #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 17:45:57 EDT 2007 i586
i586 i386 GNU/Linux
So do I need to change /etc/rpm/platform to i586-redhat-linux?
just remove the file.
-sv
Did that. Where did the file come from? That is, if I upgrade rpm, will
it be installed again?
Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it.
