yum and multiple architectures... more pain!
by Andrea
More nightmares trying to remove a devel package from Fedora 8 on PS3.
I'd like to replace alsa-lib-devel.ppc64 with alsa-lib-devel.ppc.
Why does yum want to remove all those ppc devel packages when I ask to remove a ppc64 devel?
[root@ps3 ~]# yum erase alsa-lib-devel.ppc64
.....

Even more strange when I try to reinstall SDL-devel.ppc (which had been removed as depending on
alsa-lib-devel.ppc64) I get
[root@ps3 ~]# yum install SDL-devel.ppc

What? It only needs alsa-lib-devel.ppc? So why has it been removed?
How can it be correct?
Are we sure yum is not fooled by the fact that the string "ppc" is contained in "ppc64"? Or
something else?

Fedora 8 on PS3: ppc or ppc64?
by Andrea
Hi,
I can't really understand whether the Playstation 3 running Fedora 8 supposed to be ppc or ppc64.
The question arises because it seems that it is not possible to install both RPMs for ppc and ppc64
for all application.
For instance: I cannot install alsa-lib-devel for both because they provide the same documentation
files that conflict.
The same for gdb-ppc and gdb-ppc64. I have both RPMs installed, but gdb is in the same path for
both: /usr/bin/gdb and only the last survives, the first is overwritten?
Am I wrong?
