[rhn-users] WS3 patching samba problem on x86_64

[JJ Urich]

# rpm -Uvh /tmp/samba-3.0.2-6.3E.x86_64.rpm 
/tmp/samba-client-3.0.2-6.3E.x86_64.rpm 
/tmp/samba-common-3.0.2-6.3E.x86_64.rpm

warning: samba-3.0.2-6.3E.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 
db42a60e
error: Failed dependencies:
         samba-common = 3.0.0 is needed by (installed) samba-3.0.0-14.3E

I believe the root cause of this problem is the fact that both an i386 
and x86_64 version of samba are installed when one does a full install 
from CD.  I believe this is what is causing the dependency error.  I can 
use up2date to get patched, but due to the way we push patches out 
(yum), I need to be able to have an rpm -U work.  Here is output right 
after an install from cdrom:

[root at l-lnx133 root]# grep samba- install.log
Installing samba-common-3.0.0-14.3E.x86_64.
Installing samba-client-3.0.0-14.3E.x86_64.
Installing samba-3.0.0-14.3E.i386.
Installing samba-3.0.0-14.3E.x86_64.
Installing redhat-config-samba-1.0.16-1.noarch.

[root at l-lnx133 root]# rpm -qav |grep samba-
samba-common-3.0.0-14.3E
samba-3.0.0-14.3E
redhat-config-samba-1.0.16-1
samba-client-3.0.0-14.3E
samba-3.0.0-14.3E

It seems very odd to me that both an i386 and x86_64 version of 
samba-3.0.0-14.3E.i386 get loaded.  Any one have any ideas or am I going 
down the wrong path?
