Unless the repo compose tools don't do it right. For the x86_64 repo, the i686 *and* the x86_64 packages in that repo are covered by the same metadata update. Rather I think multiarch dependency problems (and i686 packages being pulled in) happen in situations when there are broken deps for either arch and Yum resolves arch-independent dependencies. See today's thread on RPMFusion devel list for one such case. It's a guess, but it seems as if it applies a x86_64 update and uses an older i686 build of the same package to satisfy an arch-independent version-specific dependency in another x86_64 package. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
