Troy On review of your repo, I have found some problems. In x86_64/updates/security the *[h6].rpms are not hard linked to their counterparts in i386/updates/security directory. In the x86_64/updates/fastbugs this is further compounded by the situation where some of the binaries are even different in the two directories. In my local repository I have found that I can resolve this for example by changing to x86_64/updates/security directory and running "for i in *[h6].rpm;do ln -f $i {fullpathname}/i386/updates/security/$i. However, this leads to two problems. 1. I would need to rerun createrepo, and 2. the next rsync update changes everything back. I found 7 different binaries in fastbugs. and 5 packages (4 noarch, and 1 i686) in the x86_64/os/Packages directory and not in i386/os/Packages. Are these deliberate? Hubert
