[Yum] yum bug

[Stuart Midgley]

Morning

I have a yum bug.  I built a cluster based on Fedora Core 2 and thought 
I might try to use yum to manage my cluster image.  I have a 4GB file 
system image which I install across all my cluster nodes.  This image 
is mounted on the server via a loop back device.  I am trying to use 
yum from the server to manage the cluster image.  It crashes...  oh, to 
complicate things further, my server is x86 and the nodes are x86_64.



[root at node0 ~]$ mount -o loop /opt/ftp/node.img /mnt/node
[root at node0 ~]$ yum --installroot=/mnt/node check-update

Unable to find pid

     rpmarchs = bestversion(rpmnevral, name)
   File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 495, in bestversion
     currentarch = archs[0]

Hope this helps
Stu.
