Re: Continuing up2date errors

There are still problems with up2date that keep you from being able to
download the i386/i686 version of rpms manually using the "--get" argument
(when they are in fact present in the channel) for 32-bit compatibility on
x86_64 and ia64 platforms. This was reported more than 2 weeks ago.

And if you want to run "--installall" you can't today, because the channel
still has a package that shouldn't be in there and causes an unresolvable
dependency failure:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
compat-gcc-g77-7.3-2.96.119              requires compat-gcc = 7.3-2.96.119

That can easily be solved by RH, but not by an end-user, by either
updating the compat-gcc-g77 package to match the compat-gcc in the
channel, or removing compat-gcc-g77-7.3-2.96.119 from the channel.

The eclipse problem is on an x86_64 system, right? They don't have all the
needed 32-bit compatibility libraries in the channel.
