Hi all, Sorry for not giving detailed information. I've run the installation with '-d6' and this is what I get: ... Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package glite-VOBOX.x86_64 0:3.2.1-0 set to be updated Checking deps for glite-VOBOX.x86_64 0-3.2.1-0 - u looking for ('lcg-infosites', 'GE', ('0', '2.6.2', '1')) as a requirement of glite-VOBOX.x86_64 0-3.2.1-0 - u glite-VOBOX-3.2.1-0.x86_64 requires: lcg-infosites >= 2.6.2-1 --> Processing Dependency: lcg-infosites >= 2.6.2-1 for package: glite-VOBOX Searching pkgSack for dep: lcg-infosites Potential match for lcg-infosites from lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 Matched lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 to require for lcg-infosites Potential match for lcg-infosites from lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch Matched lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch to require for lcg-infosites Running compare_providers() for [<YumAvailablePackageSqlite : lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch (0x24c1c50)>, <YumAvailablePackageSqlite : lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 (0x22cf610)>] better arch in po lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 archdist compared lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch to lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 on x86_64 Winner: lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 better arch in po lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 archdist compared lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch to lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 on ia32e Winner: lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 archdist compared lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 to lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch on x86_64 Winner: lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 archdist compared lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 to lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch on ia32e Winner: lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 Best Order: [(<YumAvailablePackageSqlite : lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 (0x22cf610)>, -3), (<YumAvailablePackageSqlite : lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch (0x24c1c50)>, -13)] TSINFO: Marking lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64 as install for glite-VOBOX-3.2.1-0.x86_64 ... The two lcg-infosite packages have indeed different architectures: lcg-infosites-2.6.2-1.sl5.x86_64.rpm lcg-infosites-2.6.8-2.noarch.rpm exactarch=1 in yum.conf. Yum is version 3.2.22. Why does compare_providers give so much importance to the sl5.x86_64 architecture when the version is higher in the noarch package? Is it because it matches better the architecture of the glite-VOBOX package?
