https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441656 Summary: "zypper dup" erroneously switches architecture - Beta3/Beta 3plus --> Beta4 Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sboyce@blueyonder.co.uk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Problem seen on a number of x86_64 boxes, but not in the numbers I've seen on the current box. Progresses normally installing x86_64 packages until it somehow installs the i586 version "rpm" and switches to installing i586 packages and attempting further x86_64 package installs gives error message seen down the page. I think I see a pattern, x86_64 --> noarch --> i586. I can't say for certain what happened to change "rpm" from x86_64 to i586.
