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: / Setting up repositories Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/'] ^^^^ Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/'] ^^^^ Reading repository metadata in from local files Setting up Package Sacks Excluding Incompatible Archs Finished Reading Local RPMDB Building updates object 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.
