Hi Jim,<br>
<br>
yes I did add the line you suggested straight away and indeed shows the
multi-arch packages as you describe...<br>
<br>
however the yum snapshot was consitent with and without the macro
definition for rpm, and still doesn't work.<br>
<br>
Its a new server build too, and was working fine until I yum -y update
'd it, now it bails everytime.<br>
<br>
Shame too as it now has 200 users on it... :-(<br>
<br>
<br>

You need to shift your thinking to multi-arch packages. RPM doesn't
make this clear by default, which is why I suggested the line for your
.rpmmacros file. Nuking should not be a troubleshooting step, but
should be done with care, and generally as a last resort.

Here is a sample out put of "yum install mysql-server"
Install: mysql-server.x86_64 0:4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 - base
Performing the following to resolve dependencies:
Update: mysql.x86_64 0:4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 - base

This is very possibly still a multiarch issue, which again would
require you to add the line I suggested to your .rpmmacros file. that
will show if these packages are for i386, or for x86_64. This is the
critical step in figuring what's causing your problem.
