[expert] DON'T USE --ignorearch!!!

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

I just an expert opinion on the --ignore command in rpm installations.
E.g.

#rpm -Uvh --ignorearch RealPlayer8.xxx.rpm


My friend STRONGLY advises AGAINST using this command. He says that
trying to get around the "different architecture" error message in this
case is a hug mistake that will wipe out libraries and wreak havoc.

So, do NOT use the --ignorearch way of installing an rpm file.
