Kickstart-list Digest, Vol 71, Issue 5

[Arvind Navale]

Thanks to all folks who have responded to my request! 

I have following question to clarify myself.

I usually run 'rpm -qi pkgname' and it gives details regarding the package installed. I was wondering if there was way to tell by looking at the output of the command (rpm -qi) if its 32 or 64bit RPM package instead of using querytype option to find about it.

Sorry If my question sounds incorrect.

Thank you,
AN

In the kickstart configuration I am specifying initial name of the RPM and apparently see that only one RPM package gets installed (not sure if its 32 or 64 bit). So basically I wanted to know,

I don't know the proper format by heart, but there is a way to specify
the architechture. Something like
 
  pkgname.i386
  pkgname.x86_64
 
Don't know, however whether the same work for package groups.
 
if you want to install packages of a certain architecture by hand or in
the %post section, you'd use:
 
  rpm -i --arch=i386 pkgname
  rpm -i --arch=x86_64 pkgname
  yum install pkganem.i386
  yum install pkgname.x8664

You might want to try the following:
 
  rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"
 
To get a list of all the tags available use
 
  rpm --querytags
 
Cheers,
 
Kurt
