Well, exactarch=0 might work around this from a yum
standpoint (as far
as downloading the updates), but if RPM is complaining this
is beyond
the control of yum. As someone else mentioned, taking a
look at your
~/.rpmmacros file would be interesting.
It was empty.
Also, could you post the output of:
rpm -q --queryformat
'%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' kernel
kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686 kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.i686 kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.i686
The last kernel was installed manually using --ignorearch.
Bob,
What's the output of,
# rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' rpm
rpm-4.4.2-47.el5.i386
The contents of,
# cat /etc/rpm/platform
i386-redhat-linux
And the output of,
# rpm --eval '%_arch'
i386
Also, did you re-install rpm by forcing an upgrade in place of rpm with,
I ran yum remove yum. I did not remove rpm nor did an rpm --force.
