No, this seems to be the desired behavior of yum. I checked 2.2 and 2.4
versions. Also in the image I see that glib2.i386 as well as glib2.x86_64 is
installed. Same for perl-Qt.

The architecture distinction for the paths should be easy to add. But that
doesn't solve the problem with distro packages.
I see two paths we could follow:
- add the architecture to every line in the oscarsamples rpmlist file:
- the rpmlist can be made shorter, as dependencies are being resolved, so
this effort could get small
- the oscar packages need also an architecture suffix, where should this get
added?
- change yume to add .{$arch,noarch} wherever the suffix is missing
- this can make the command lines really really long, but OTOH we can make
the oscarsamples/rpmlists shorter, as explained above.
Any other ideas how to overcome this problem?
Thanks,
Erich
