An hour ? You have indeed 100 OBS channels subscribed ? Yes.
I can hardly imagine a usecase for this ...
Curiousity :-) And x86_64. Somewhere in the deeps of the repos are up-to-date versions of x86_64 packages that don't bring i586 as dependencies. At least I hope so. BTW, obs - a noarch pack - introduced a lot of ruby i586 packages to my system... ;-)
that is just a stupid smart bug. it has nothing to do with the packages. if smart sees a package where i586 is newer than x86_64 ... it blindly installs that. yum has similar ideas sometimes but it can be tamed with yum install|upgrade --exclude=\*i586\* <otherargs>
smart is not so smart sometimes.
That last is what I know :-) I read the smart mailing list... ;-)
I installed obs via YaST. The dependencies were not discovered by smart.
When I want to update package X, smart often tells me it is going to install X in i586 as well as in x86_64. In the meantime, I'm used to look at the packages smart wants to install before starting the run ;-)
Since Smart 0.52 release Christoph Thiel and Pascal Bleser have updated it with some interesting patches. I also remember the case where Smart wanted to install both i586 and x86_64, but weren't this fixed with this patch? * jue dic 06 2007 cthiel@suse.de - readded smart-trunk.patch (r899) * improved x86_64 support: packages of color 2 (x86_64, etc) are considered of higher precedence when compared to packages of color 1.
