Hi List, Everyone is going to have this:
yum install httpd yum proceeds to download the entire FC4/x86_64 distro! even though the UML is i386. Essentially the issue is related to: uname -a which is executed by /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/archwork.py Python gets: Linux uml-test.localdomain 2.6.12-bb10-skas0 #1 Sun Aug 7 00:11:09 EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux All the x86_64 strings make python think the architecture is x86_64. I'm guessing this really needs to be the subject of a patch to give it the real/true/virtual? architecture of the UML. You know what I mean.... I'm still trying to hack away at this one. Anyone know how to mangle yum (python)? I've spotted the lines that need changing, but changing them doesn't do anything???. I know nothing of python. BTW the UML is an i386 machine but the host is x86_64 (did I already mention that?).
