[Yum-devel] Basearch on ppc64

[Jeroen van Meeuwen]

Hi,

I'm seeking some advice from the experts ;-)

On a ppc64 system, I find that rpmUtils.arch.getBaseArch() returns "ppc" 
instead of "ppc64".

This causes many ppc64 packages to be unavailable to a given Fedora 
system, as the repositories are configured using $basearch, though there 
is a ppc64/ repository for Everything and updates.

Am I right or wrong to conclude something is wrong here?

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
