Hi,

After a successful upgrade CentOS 3.8 i386 to CentOS 4.4 x86_64 and,
after cleaning old 3.8 packages, yum does not update the x86_64 packages
but just the i386's.
The rhn-applet see the x86_64 updates but neither yum nor up2date see
them.

When I run:
# yum -d 3 check-update
Yum Version: 2.4.3
COMMAND: yum -d 3 
Installroot: /

Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/']
                                                                 ^^^^

What I do without success:
# yum clean all
# rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
# rpm --rebuilddb

I created a python script like used by yum :
# -*- python -*-
# arch.py
import os
import re
def getArch():
    arch = os.uname()[4]
    newarch = None
    if re.search('86', arch):
        newarch = 'i386'
    if re.search('sparc', arch) or re.search('sun', arch):
        newarch = 'sparc'
    if re.search('alpha', arch):
        newarch = 'alpha'
    if re.search('ppc', arch):
        newarch = 'ppc'
    if re.search('x86_64', arch):
        newarch = 'x86_64'
    if not newarch:
        newarch = arch
    return newarch
myarch=getArch()
print myarch

When I run it, it returns 'x86_64':
# python arch.py
x86_64

What can be wrong ?

Thanks for your help.
