It's probably better to keep everything on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225406 but on this particular point are you sure the packages aren't multilib safe? I read this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MultilibTricks#Multiarch.2C_binaries_and_compilation_scripts I also tried installing i586 and x86_64 packages at the same time on my local machine and it appears to work. I must admit I'm not hugely familiar with how multilib works (except that when I looked at it, it seemed like a gigantic hack) .. # rpm -Uvh libblkid-1.41.4-6.fc11.x86_64.rpm libblkid-devel-1.41.4-6.fc11.x86_64.rpm libblkid-devel-1.41.4-6.fc11.i586.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:libblkid ########################################### [ 33%] 2:libblkid-devel ########################################### [ 67%] 3:libblkid-devel ########################################### [100%] # rpm -qa | grep libblkid libblkid-devel-1.41.4-6.fc11.i586 libblkid-1.41.4-6.fc11.x86_64 libblkid-devel-1.41.4-6.fc11.x86_64 The scratch-build of my package is here if you want to try: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1234571 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.
