Hi John,
Thanks for pointing that out.  I have a new script for the SL 3x errata and it 
looks like it has a bug in it.  I have to laugh, because it even made it into 
the errata e-mail I sent out.

I'd never looked at the arch of a src.rpm, but I just ran that on all the 
vendor's src.rpm's.  It looks like ppc has the most, followed by i386, noarch, 
and then there is a wide smattering of all sorts of different arches that they 
say they are.  Not that it means much.  But that is interesting.
