https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=347624 Summary: yum installs i586 packages on x86_64 which easily results in serious breakage Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: janneke-list@xs4all.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other The default installation of yum has in /etc/yum.conf: exactarchlist=kernel-bigsmp, kernel-debug, kernel-default, kernel-dummy,kernel-iseries64, kernel-ppc64, kernel-s390, kernel-smp, kernel-syms, kernel-um, kernel-xen, kernel-xenpae, glibc which makes that I got: root@peder:~# yum install xorg-x11 opensuse 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 opensuse-updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 723 kB 00:01 opensuse-u: ################################################## 1872/1872 Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package xorg-x11.i586 0:7.2-135.4 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libXdmcp.so.6 for package: xorg-x11 --> Running transaction check ---> Package xorg-x11-libXdmcp.i586 0:7.2-53 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: xorg-x11 i586 7.2-135.4 opensuse-updates 2.1 M Installing for dependencies: xorg-x11-libXdmcp i586 7.2-53 opensuse 11 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 2 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 2.1 M Is this ok [y/N]: y which results in, for example: root@peder:~# ldd `which gdm`|grep found libXdmcp.so.6 => not found not good. It can be fixed my commenting-out the exactarchlist entry, or possibly by including something like: exclude=*.i386* *.i586* *.i686* $ yum --version 3.2.4 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"zypper" is the commandline tool. however, reassigning this bug to YUM maintainer. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, you might want to use the "yum-basearchonly" plugin (provided by the package with the same name) to work around this behavior. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will be using zypper. About the "as designed" bit: it's easy to work around once you've experienced the problem. I concur that I'm new to yum, but as I have heard it advertised as apt-get for *rpm... My question would be: how can we prevent other SUSE newbies to have the nasty experience of breakage that I had? How would the next Debian/Ubuntu person installing SUSE know to use zypper or install yum-basearchonly before doing yum -y install $(cat some-list)? like she did with apt-get? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
