I'm running fc4 on an old winchip-c6 server. yum.conf has
exactarch = 1. This week it updated openssl.i686 over
openssl.i386 - a non-obvious problem that caused no end of
grief.
yum does install i586 kernels.
Now this could be a yum problem, but before whining to them
I checked rpm --showrc:
rpm --showrc
ARCHITECTURE AND OS:
build arch : i386
compatible build archs: athlon i686 i586 i486 i386 noarch fat
build os : Linux
compatible build os's : linux
install arch : athlon
install os : Linux
compatible archs : athlon i686 i586 i486 i386 noarch fat
compatible os's : linux
Why the install routines set the install arch to athlon, is
beyond me. But how do I set it to i586 - which I assume will
keep yum from installing i686 binaries.
