Hi,
we found a problem when using yum to install/upgrade packages on x86_64 platform, potentially for PPC and other platforms as well. The problem is: when yum installs a package, it installs .i386 version package as well.
The problem is not a issue when running yum interactively, since we can always put a .<archName>' to the package to filter out .i386 version. But it poses a big problem for automatic yum operations with comps.xml.
In default and custom/own comps.xml, only packages' names are allowed to be included, no version/release/arch information can be coded in. So, when using yum to install/upgrade system. annoying i386 version packages are installed unintentionally.
Any one know an solution to this annoying issue? Thanks.
Have a great weekend.

Add the following to the [main] section of your /etc/yum.conf file:
exclude=*.i?86
Hope that helps...
