mergerepos of f10 x86_64 release and updates does not contain perl or some other packages?

[Steve Traylen]

Hi,

 Merging works fine for i386 f10 repositories but for x86_64 the
following happens.

 The merged repository of f10's "Everything" and "updates" is created
and then using
 this new repo mock tries to create and installroot.

 The problem is that this new repository is unable to provide
 some items, perl, /bin/bash  and so the install root fails.

 Here are the details.

 The "blocklist" file following here is empty.

 $ /usr/libexec/kojid/mergerepos -a x86_64 \
       -b /mnt/koji/repos/dist-f10-build/671/x86_64/blocklist \
       -o /tmp/koji/tasks/2021/2021/repo \
       -g /mnt/koji/repos/dist-f10-build/671/groups/comps.xml \
       -r http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/fedora/linux/updates/10/x86_64/ \
       -r http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/x86_64/os/

The following is then tried from within mock. The chroot's yum.conf is
definitely
referencing the repository I just created (I've checked carefully and have
recreated the repo a few times just to check this is consistent. )

/usr/bin/yum --installroot /var/lib/mock/dist-f10-build-13-671/root/ \
     groupinstall build

this results in

And indeed.

/usr/bin/yum --installroot /var/lib/mock/dist-f10-build-13-671/root list perl
Error: No matching Packages to list

There are lots of packages in this repository, but no perl it seems.

/usr/bin/yum --installroot /var/lib/mock/dist-f10-build-13-671/root
list  | wc -l
shows  3483 packages.

Note the main box I am working on is 32 bit F10 box which may be relevant and
the reason why only subsequently the i386 build works?
