Best way to check the actual contents of the rpm is to query the rpm's meta data. # rpm -query --queryformat '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\n' --package glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm should return: glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64 Shorter equivalent: # rpm --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\n' -qp glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm should return: glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64 Check just the arch (not useful w/ multiple packages): # rpm --qf '%{arch}\n' -qp glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm should return: x86_64 -greg gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org wrote on 10/03/2011 02:11:43 AM: > Hi - > Interesting,I have downloaded python 64-bit rpm from other resources > (like centos,rpmfind ) they show arch as 32-bit! > > $ file python-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm > python-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm: RPM v3 bin i386 python-2.6.5-3.el6 > > $ file python-2.7.1-7.fc15.x86_64.rpm > python-2.7.1-7.fc15.x86_64.rpm: RPM v3 bin i386 python-2.7.1-7.fc15 > > Reading more about from here http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-file- > format-rpm-file-format.html > > My guess is, 'file' command still uses an old magic signature (lead > - where 'arch' value can be found with in first few bytes), but the > new magic signature(header) stores the details > in some other place.May be recent the rpmbuild updates arch value in > 'header' but not in old 'lead' structure. > $ file --version > file-5.03 > . > .. > ... > Cheers, > Lakshmipathi.G > FOSS Programmer. > > From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [gluster-users- > bounces at gluster.org] on behalf of Joey McDonald [joey at scare.org] > Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 5:26 AM > To: gluster-users at gluster.org > Subject: Problem with Gluster's LATEST RPM Builds > Hi, > > You have some Gluster packages available for download here: > > http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/CentOS/ > > They are labeled as x86_64, however they're actually i386, as you > can see here: > > [joey at nahalam-0-0 ~]$ wget http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/ > glusterfs/LATEST/CentOS/glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm--2011-10-01 > 23:55:48-- http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/ > LATEST/CentOS/glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm > Resolving download.gluster.com... 70.38.57.57 > Connecting to download.gluster.com|70.38.57.57|:80... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK > Length: 2317773 (2.2M) [application/x-redhat-package-manager] > Saving to: `glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm' > > 100% > [===========================================================================================>] > 2,317,773 1.98M/s in 1.1s > > 2011-10-01 23:55:49 (1.98 MB/s) - `glusterfs-core-3.2. > 4-1.x86_64.rpm' saved [2317773/2317773] > > [joey at nahalam-0-0 ~]$ file glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm > glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm: RPM v3 bin i386 glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1 > > --joey > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
