I just upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 x86_64, haven't taken the time to add any repositories as yet. All updates in the Gnome updater applet are listed as "noarch." This was happening in 11.3, and was part of the reason I got around to upgrading. I couldn't figure out where these were coming from. rpm and zypper indicate I have the 64-bit apps installed. I can't find this in the bug tracker, is anyone else having the same problem? Can it be ignored, just using Yast or zypper to update?

Hi Jon,

"noarch" means the package(s) contain no items that have been compiled for use on a particular machine architecture, i.e.

386 / 486 / 686 --> 32 bit systems x86_64 --> 64 bit systems noarch --> either one

I understand that, but nearly all 96 packages are listed by the applet as "noarch." That isn't right, most of these are installed 64 bit. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

A "patch" (update description) would be noarch.

Just install the updates.

Thanks, that would explain it. Something's changed recently though, in the past the applet listed the updates by the installed architecture. I can do without this kind of surprise. :( Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
