As pointed out elsewhere, it is likely that you are on x86_64 and have both i386 and x86_64 packages installed. This may be a "misfeature" but it is not attributable to CentOS, rather to Red Hat, and is the normal behavior. I like to define an rpm macro to work around it: [root at poq1 ~]# cat ~/.rpmmacros # Change default RPM query format to show ARCH %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} [root at poq1 ~]# rpm -q firefox firefox-3.0.12-1.el5.centos.x86_64 firefox-3.0.12-1.el5.centos.i386 Phil
