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
Good
The contents of,
# cat /etc/rpm/platform
i386-redhat-linux
Good
And the output of,
# rpm --eval '%_arch'
i386
Good
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.
Don't remove rpm, just run an 'rpm -Uvh --force rpm-4.4.2-47.el5.i386.rpm' this should replace any configs/macros that might have been damaged.
Outside of that, I dunno, I would probably do an rpm audit for all packages that have changed files and re-install those packages on top of themselves, making sure to move all the '*.rpmnew' on top of the existing files. Then verify your Internet connection works properly with yum (are you behind a proxy server?), and see what that does.
