[Nov 11. 2008 23:11]: This problem still exists with seemingly no handle on it. 1. Why is "zypper dup" upgrading to a i586 package when an x86_64 package exists?
Probably because the x86_64 package is not installable (for whatever reason, in most cases one of the dependencies can't be fulfilled).
You mean the x86_64 one is installed and replaced with a i586 one ? This might be caused by the vendor checks, 'zypper dup' tries to stay with the same vendor.
No, it doesn't check the vendor.
Cheers, Michael.
After I removed quite a bit of stuff in /var/cache/zypp, "zypper rm" some of the i586 packages, "zypper in libzypp zypper satsolver-tools", "zypper ref", "zypper dup" has not installed any further i586 packages. Later this evening I shall try the same with another box and see how it goes. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
