yum and multiple architectures... more pain!

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 ..... Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Removing: alsa-lib-devel ppc64 1.0.15-1.fc8 installed 8.2 M Removing for dependencies: SDL-devel ppc 1.2.13-2.fc8 installed 1.4 M SDL-devel ppc64 1.2.13-2.fc8 installed 1.4 M eel2-devel ppc64 2.20.0-1.fc8 installed 214 k eel2-devel ppc 2.20.0-1.fc8 installed 214 k esound-devel ppc64 1:0.2.38-6.fc8 installed 22 k evolution-data-server-devel ppc64 1.12.3-2.fc8 installed 5.9 M evolution-data-server-devel ppc 1.12.3-2.fc8 installed 5.9 M gnome-desktop-devel ppc 2.20.3-1.fc8 installed 191 k gnome-desktop-devel ppc64 2.20.3-1.fc8 installed 191 k gnome-panel-devel ppc64 2.20.3-1.fc8 installed 177 k gnome-panel-devel ppc 2.20.3-1.fc8 installed 177 k gnome-pilot-devel ppc64 2.0.15-10.fc8 installed 164 k gnome-pilot-devel ppc 2.0.15-10.fc8 installed 164 k libbonoboui-devel ppc64 2.20.0-1.fc8 installed 1.0 M libbonoboui-devel ppc 2.20.0-1.fc8 installed 1.0 M libcroco-devel ppc64 0.6.1-3.fc8 installed 110 k libgnome-devel ppc 2.20.1-2.fc8 installed 537 k libgnome-devel ppc64 2.20.1-2.fc8 installed 537 k libgnomeui-devel ppc 2.20.1.1-1.fc8 installed 2.4 M libgnomeui-devel ppc64 2.20.1.1-1.fc8 installed 2.4 M librsvg2-devel ppc64 2.18.2-2.fc8 installed 92 k 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 Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package SDL-devel.ppc 0:1.2.13-2.fc8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: alsa-lib-devel for package: SDL-devel --> Running transaction check ---> Package alsa-lib-devel.ppc 0:1.0.15-1.fc8 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: SDL-devel ppc 1.2.13-2.fc8 updates 373 k Installing for dependencies: alsa-lib-devel ppc 1.0.15-1.fc8 fedora 989 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 2 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) 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 25 Feb '08

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?
