Create a ~/.rpmmacros file for your user and root with the following line %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} then rerun yum and see if the arch values listed are the same. With the line above, instead of device-mapper-1.01.04-1.0.RHEL4 it should show up as device-mapper-1.01.04-1.0.RHEL4.x86_64 -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Arthur C.
