Hi, 'exclude' option fails for yum on centos 5. I tried to yum install a group on a x86_64 machine, but it installs both ix86 version and x86_64 version. So I added the following line to /etc/yum.conf, clears /var/cache/yum/, then run 'yum groupinstall Ruby', but it reports that ix86 version packages will be installed still. Any one know what's the correct syntax to exclude one or more 'arch' from group installation on centos 5? Please help. The following are from my /etc/yum.conf: ... exclude='*.i386 *.i486 *.i586 *.i686 *.athelon' ... The following are from the output: ...
