Yes, this is hypothetically possible, see: [spot@localhost ~]$ rpm -q ocaml-findlib-1.2.1-2.fc9.x86_64 --requires rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 /bin/sh libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) libdl.so.2()(64bit) libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libm.so.6()(64bit) libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) ocaml(Array) = aa8e3cd5824f9bb40b93fcd38d0c95b5 ocaml(Big_int) = 992d682669507b99e689b5a2188c0b9a ocaml(Buffer) = f6cef633ea14963b84b79c4095c63dc3 ocaml(Char) = e98bc9c9e918a84b3c1a5a122d42fac1 ocaml(Consistbl) = 47f9cdffda6ba2de99c8e9f0c0c1b34d ocaml(Digest) = a5dd2d89492338578de12105e88c803f ocaml(Env) = 6d0215253b3fde95601c34944cacb607 ocaml(Filename) = 633a1e7f590ff5e95124293dbef3b476 ocaml(Format) = 35fe566f7a37d8991a5c822bd1463949 ocaml(Hashtbl) = 083f2c94b44ff4e0b3220aaea6a783b4 ocaml(Ident) = ba1acc56fc179d27bd55278cbc2abf40 ocaml(Lexing) = b1793496643444d3762dd42bebe2cfe3 ocaml(List) = da1ce9168f0408ff26158af757456948 ocaml(Location) = eed044ad1204a633caad97bdd9048f8c ocaml(Longident) = 46fb8aad4fb2c12a0f301b02d8139f07 ocaml(Map) = dedde7683d54ae7db1eb97cc868dd047 ocaml(Nat) = 0ea20dd1cc4533fd519b5542a89feb87 ocaml(Num) = cfa2705c9c6d6f5a56b83f91fc630d2a ocaml(Obj) = 5cfae708052c692ea39d23ed930fd64d ocaml(Outcometree) = 6674fbd870cb2522aca4d851f3559202 ocaml(Path) = d8bc8e7163bac3a9a0a93f1cb07092d1 ocaml(Pervasives) = 8ba3d1faa24d659525c9025f41fd0c57 ocaml(Primitive) = 43a2770aed8fbcc536ab39d717fe9a7b ocaml(Printf) = 5dbbf45a03b54e6dbfcf39178d0d6341 ocaml(Ratio) = 7067125cce206dd2bbe93918ba7bdfe9 ocaml(Set) = 7da14e671a035f12386ace3890018ef3 ocaml(Sort) = 089a51dd8ddc078e57acf2f80b7c06f6 ocaml(Stream) = 21a833e12efd34ea0c87d8d9da959809 ocaml(String) = 2c162ab314b2f0a2cfd22d471b2e21ab ocaml(Sys) = 0da495f5a80f31899139359805318f28 ocaml(Topdirs) = 2d07b01227af22b60aee18498198c35e ocaml(Toploop) = ead8879d71c4d5137fe5100fdd682a0b ocaml(Types) = df897aed3fc89c2129322c17067857b8 ocaml(Warnings) = abcb1589615da86f20f475b0ed3bbabc ocaml(runtime) = 3.10.1 [spot@localhost ~]$ rpm -q ocaml.x86_64 --provides ocaml(compiler) = 3.10.1 ocaml(Ocamlbuild) = df8d0c74d80342ca6057bad41bde8971 ocaml(Ocamlbuild_executor) = 846552307267a7beccbeafa1f378a030 ocaml(Ocamlbuild_pack) = 70dd242c6e6bb93e89d226308888f9ba ocaml(Ocamlbuild_plugin) = 14eaca3963ed1f73c1da0680370a802c ocaml(Ocamlbuild_unix_plugin) = 91f524a8cc2f4e0cd69f3ef83c774116 ocaml = 3.10.1-2.fc9 So, ocaml.i386 would resolve this dependency just as well as ocaml.x86_64, but I doubt it would work. yum is going to try to resolve this dependency with the ocaml.x86_64 by default, but if you had somehow manually installed ocaml.i386 only, it would then install ocaml addons as x86_64 packages. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
