You do NOT want to get mixed packages on your system and the way you are doing it you may wind up with conflicting packages by installing the same package for both the i586 and the i686 architecture. Although they are different architecture they will likely some of the same files and can be a nightmare of problems that seem to have no reason. Yum gets the latest packages and automatically resolved dependencies without mixing the architectures. > . > . > . > > > D: ============== > cman-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.18.i586.rpm > D: Expected size: 149983 = > lead(96)+sigs(344)+pad(0)+data(149543) > D: Actual size: 149983 > D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages > joinenv > D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages > rdonly mode=0x0 > D: locked db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages > D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys rdonly > mode=0x0 > warning: > cman-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.18.i586.rpm: > Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 > D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Providename > rdonly mode=0x0 > D: read h# 1602 Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, > key ID 4f2a6fd2 > D: added binary package [0] > D: ============== > cman-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.18.i686.rpm > D: Expected size: 150181 = > lead(96)+sigs(344)+pad(0)+data(149741) > D: Actual size: 150181 > D: > cman-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.18.i686.rpm: > Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 > warning: package cman-kernel = > 2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.18 was already added, > skipping cman-kernel < 2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.18 > error: error reading from file > cman-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.18.i686.rpm > > -- > This suggests that the file is read but still it > complains. > > The same thing happened with files like > > hal-0.5.2-2.fc4.1.i386.rpm > hal-0.5.2-2.fc4.i386.rpm > > which has different release name. > > Can somebody suggest a suitable solution ? > > Thanks in advance. > > With regards, > Prasad H.
