Hello,
I noticed, that whenever I install a package on CentOS 5.x, rpms for
multiple architectures are installed:
yum install sqlite-devel

Complete!
Thats pretty annoying, because an "rpm -qa | grep sqlite" only shows the
package name, not the arch:
sqlite-3.3.6-2
sqlite-devel-3.3.6-2
sqlite-3.3.6-2
sqlite-devel-3.3.6-2
When I later want to remove rpms, I always have to mention both archs
explicitly:
rpm -e sqlite-3.3.6-2.i386
rpm -e sqlite-3.3.6-2.x64_86
And sometimes packages have arch i686 as well.
Or I get an error:
rpm -e sqlite
error: "sqlite" specifies multiple packages
First I thought, that this might be an issue due to 32bit compatibility.
But then I remembered, that I used CentOS 4 on 64bit, too, and there was
no such problem.
How can I get rid of it?
Kind regard
Marten
