Package: xen-tools Version: 3.9-2 Severity: normal
After installing a Fedora 7 domU using an i386 architecture in a x86_64 host I was not able to use default repositories configurations. All current repository config use $basesearch as architecture string, for example in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo: [development] name=Fedora - Development failovermethod=priority #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/os/ mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch [...] If /etc/rpm/platform is not found yum (and rpm I think) guesses the architecture (aka $basesearch) from the kernel, this way trying to install packages in a i386 domU running inside a x86_64 dom0 messes up things. I had to manually create /etc/rpm/platform containing this line: i386-fedora-linux-gnu and now all is runing well. Sorry but I was not able to find the bits that places /etc/yum.conf in the created image, that problably should be the place where to set the /etc/rpm/platform file. Ciao.
