Hi=2C

Looking at the explanation on filelists.xml.gz on this site http://www.slas=
hroot.in/yum-repository-and-package-management-complete-tutorial=2C

<package pkgid=3D"deee52b24486906ee52576ee471b57061ccd5544" name=3D"php-mbs=
tring" arch=3D"i386">

My gut feeling is that yum uses name.arch combination to uniquely identify =
a package.  Could anyone confirm if this is correct?

Thanks=2C

Satoshi
