Here's a question. Should -devel package requirements be of the form:
Requires: package-devel.%{arch}
I ask because of the following:
# yum list libX11-devel
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Excluding Packages from Fedora Core 6 - x86_64 - Updates
Finished
Installed Packages
libX11-devel.i386 1.0.3-6.fc6 installed
Available Packages
libX11-devel.x86_64 1.0.3-7.fc6 updates
libX11-devel.i386 1.0.3-7.fc6 updates
[root@apollo ~]# rpm -e libX11-devel
error: Failed dependencies:

libXt-devel-1.0.2-3.1.fc6.i386
libX11-devel is needed by (installed) libXext-devel-1.0.1-2.1.i386
Should the libXpm-devel-3.5.5-3.x86_64 requirement for "libX11-devel" be
satisfied by libX11-devel.i386? The needed libraries won't be there for
linking.
Can this be done in packaging, or does this need to be done in rpm?
