Dear all, I am using RedHat WS3 on a EM64T. And I found that it installs both x86_64 and i386 rpms of some softwares, in order to provide the compatibility of running i386 application on EM64T. But for some rpm package, both x86_64 and i386 version contain the file in the same path. For example, for the tcl-8.3.5 rpm, both x86_64 and i386 arch rpm contain the binary file "/usr/bin/tclsh8.3". The file in x86_64 rpm is 64-bit and the file in i386 rpm is 32-bit. So how can rpm determine which binary file should it install to that path, if both x86_64 and i386 rpm is installed? In tcl case, it seems that the system always keeps the 64-bit one. Is this behaviour maintained by rpm? Or it needs some 'tricks' in spec file? I would like to know the detail but I can't find any doc about that.
