Right, the above onlyif isn't perfect. It needs to be more like this:
onlyif => "rpm -q --qf='%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n' libacl | grep -q
'libacl.x86_64'"
Otherwise, RPM outputs something like this:
$ rpm -q libacl
libacl-2.2.23-5.3.el4
Which has no arch on it. Note that you don't have to use -qa and then
grep, that's slow. You can just do -q <package name> which is much faster
(especially if you have a lot of RPMs installed). This also works on
packages that have multiple arches:
$ rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n' tcp_wrappers
tcp_wrappers.x86_64
tcp_wrappers.i386
So now I just need to set this up so it's transparent between RHEL4-5...
