Hello all, It's me again with an annoying question. When I try to install subversion on a 64bit machine with dag and sl-security repos enabled I get these sorts of results: .............................................................................. [root@machine yum.repos.d]# uname -rm 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 x86_64 [root@machine yum.repos.d]# yum install subversion Loaded plugins: kernel-module sl-base | 1.1 kB 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 905 kB 00:00 sl-base 3409/3409 dag | 1.1 kB 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 3.4 MB 00:01 dag 9353/9353 sl-security | 951 B 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 234 kB 00:00 sl-security 693/693 Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package subversion.x86_64 0:1.6.5-0.1.el5.rf set to be updated ---> Package subversion.i386 0:1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Beginning Kernel Module Plugin Finished Kernel Module Plugin Dependencies Resolved ========================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ========================================================================================================== Installing: subversion x86_64 1.6.5-0.1.el5.rf dag 6.8 M subversion i386 1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 sl-security 2.3 M Transaction Summary ========================================================================================================== Install 2 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 9.1 M Is this ok [y/N]: n Exiting on user Command Complete! .............................................................................. Is there a reason why yum wants to install the i386 version of subversion on an x86_64 machine?

Please let me know if you need more information. I can selectively install the x86_64 package by: yum install subversion.x86_64 so it's OK in the end, but it seems kind of weird to me to install an i386 package in x86_64. The same thing happens with xdelta too, but the i386 package is from sl-base instead of sl-security. Thanks, ~Chris
