Re: Creating complete repository

[Chris Kittlitz <ckittlitz@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK - there are a number of i386 and i686 packages installed.  Approximately 1/3 of the packages are 32 bit.
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name} %{arch}\n' | grep i[36]86 | wc
    382     764    6251
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name} %{arch}\n' | grep x86 | wc
   1098    2196   20562
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name} %{arch}\n' | grep noarch | wc
    139     278    3207
$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name} %{arch}\n' | grep -v noarch | grep -v x86 | grep -v i[36]86
gpg-pubkey (none)

I talked to my sysadmin, and he mentioned that the repositories are updated directly from the distribution repos, so any instances of i[36]86 in our local copies are a result of them being present in the main distribution. 

To check this, I went to the CentOS repo and saw the following:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/
...

	GConf2-2.14.0-9.el5.i386.rpm	18-Nov-2007 18:48	1.5M
	GConf2-2.14.0-9.el5.x86_64.rpm	19-Nov-2007 15:09	1.5M

...

So, there is an i386 RPM in the official CentOS 5.6 x86_64 repository.

My sysadmin said this is because some packages do not have 64 bit versions, or there is certain functionality only provided by the 32 bit version of the package.

rpm -qa doesn't list arch by default, so I would consider this command:

rpm -qa --qf '%{name} %{arch}\n' | grep i686

What should I expect for the output of these?

rpm -q glibc

rpm based systems should only have one version of an rpm&libs,
usually the most recent unless a very compelling reason not to.

multiarch

try rpm -qa | grep i686
