Summary

0003932: yum installs 32bit update on 64bit machines running only 64bit perl

Description

using package updater on CentOS 5.3, perl update shows
4:perl-5.8.8-27.el5.x86_64 updates 4:perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1x86_64
Actually what happens is it installs the 32-bit version as well. I have two identical boxes and could reproduce it with both.

Notes
(0010132) tru (administrator) 2009-10-23 21:47	not a bug but OP error. 1) both perl.i386 and perl.x86_64 are available 2) you request to install perl without asking for a specific $arch 3) perl matches both yum install perl.x86_64 or yum update would yield the expected result...

(0010171) toracat (developer) 2009-10-26 15:41	I think perl-5.8.8-27.el5.i386.rpm needs to be copied to the x86_64 extras repo. This was requested during the QA process...

(0010175) toracat (developer) 2009-10-26 20:44	The missing perl.i386 has just been added to the 5.4 x86_64 extras repo according to Karanbir Singh. Should show up in the mirrors shortly.
