Hi, I'm running Scientific Linux 6.2 x86_64 (Redhat 6.2 clone) and I also manage a repo for it, which has both i686 and x86_64 packages in it, that aren't always exactly at the same version. The repo is here: http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/ As you can see the package ffmpeg-libs for example is at version 0.6.3-2 for x86_64, while it's already at version 0.6.5-1 for i686. What happens now is that on the x86_64 box where I only have x86_64 packages installed so far (including ffmpeg-libs-0.6.3-2) if I run 'yum update', yum will try to use the newer i686 package (ffmpeg-libs-0.6.5-1) to update the installed older x86_64 package. This happens despite I have 'exactarch=1' in /etc/yum.conf. Isn't 'exactarch=1' supposed to prevent this, or am I misunderstanding the purpose of 'exactarch=1'? If 'exactarch=1' isn't supposed to prevent this, how else can I avoid this, as upgrading a x86_64 with a i686 package will obviously cause a mess and therefore shouldn't happen? Scientific Linux 6.2 uses yum version 3.2.29. Thanks in advance for any clarification. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
