Not sure I understand what you mean by "aren't needed". foo.i386 has the same set of "Requires" statements as foo.x86_64 Besides I performed a small experiment: I checked my diskless partition to see how many bzip2 packages I had installed (chrooted to the dikless partition before executing this): rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\n" |grep bzip2 bzip2-libs-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64 bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64 Then, I removed bzip2 and bzip2-libs from the diskless partition: rpm -e --nodeps bzip2 rpm -e --nodeps bzip2-libs I had to use nodpes because of dependencies. Subsequently I installed bzip2 again using yum: yum --enablerepo apm-v5-64 --installroot=/tftpboot/v564/ install bzip2 Obviously I was not chrooted at this point. Again I checked that packages (chrooted): rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\n" |grep bzip2 bzip2-libs-1.0.3-4.el5_2-i386 bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2-i386 bzip2-libs-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64 bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64 Why did I get i386 and x86_64 packages this time? This seems inconsistent... > > As Seth said, you want to require at least yum-3.2.19-18.el5 if not > yum-3.2.19-18.el5_3.1 or later. I upgraded to this version and repeated the installation of my diskless partition - the same effect. Piotr
