Hi,
I have a local repository setup with 8 packages in it. On our Scientific
Linux 5.1,5.2 or 5.3 (or RHEL5 of all versions) it works fine. However
on our only SL5.4 x86_64 machine yum seems to only be capable of seeing
5 of the RPMs.
Here is me trying to see the packages, note the initial output from yum
list all (at the bottom) which shows that it sees all 8 packages:
[r...@sl5build ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: kernel-module
Cleaning up Everything
[r...@sl5build ~]# yum list all | grep local
MySQL-client-community.x86_64 5.1.40-0.rhel5 local
MySQL-server-community.x86_64 5.1.40-0.rhel5 local
amanda-backup_server.x86_64 2.6.1p1-1.rhel5 local
pgsphere.x86_64 1.1.0-1 local
[r...@sl5build ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: kernel-module
Cleaning up Everything
[r...@sl5build ~]# yum list all
Loaded plugins: kernel-module
local | 951 B 00:00
local/primary | 5.9 kB 00:00
local
8/8
Here are the files that are in the repository:
ls local-rhel5-x86_64/RPMS/
amanda-backup_client-2.6.1p1-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
amanda-backup_server-2.6.1p1-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-client-community-5.1.40-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-server-community-5.1.40-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
nagios-eso-plugins-1.2-14.x86_64.rpm
pgsphere-1.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
repodata
syslog-ng-3.0.4-1.rhel5.amd64.rpm
syslog-ng-client-3.0.4-1.rhel5.amd64.rpm
The only difference I can see is that these files are named .amd64.rpm
instead of .x86_64.rpm - is this a yum bug that it's refusing to look at
these files?
THanks

Hi Tim,
I would suspect any package that is labeled *amd64.rpm
I know in the past, yum doesn't like it when the rpm file name doesn't
match the data that is inside the rpm. I believe this is a security
option and not a bug. You don't want someone slipping in a package
called foo.rpm, that is really a hacked up bar.rpm.
I would do a rpm query on those packages, and if need be, rename them to
what they properly are.
rpm -qpi syslog-ng-3.0.4-1.rhel5.amd64.rpm
rpm -qp syslog-ng-3.0.4-1.rhel5.amd64.rpm --qf "==%{name}==%{arch}==\n"
