        You are restating my point.  I wanted to make sure rawhide didn't
get ppc64 packages by accident, thus my question.  Currently the telnet 
ppc.rpm is genereating a Illegal instruction error.  As far as I can tell 
though (with the file command), it is merely a 32-bit program and so are 
the libraries.  I guess it's some other bug that was introduced.
        mod_webapp is also having trouble.

        BTW, what *.ppc64.rpm packages?  I don't see any in the rawhide
directory.  You must be looking at a different rawhide/ppc directory than
I am.
