Encountered a classic ‘Catch 22’ problem with a recent Pidora 20<\/strong> update..<\/p>\n

The version of RPM – rpm-4.11.2-3.fc20.v6.armv6hl<\/strong><\/em> – was broken, as it had the ‘build architecture’ set to arm5tel<\/em><\/strong>, instead of armv6hl<\/em><\/strong>..<\/p>\n

This meant that all subsequent yum updates failed, with ”package xxxxxxxxx.armv6hl is intended for a different architecture<\/strong>” errors.<\/p>\n

And… updating RPM with yum also failed, or course, with the same error..<\/p>\n

With the ‘bad’ version of RPM:<\/p>\n

# rpm --showrc | head<\/strong>\r\nARCHITECTURE AND OS:\r\nbuild arch : armv5tel\r\ncompatible build archs: armv6l armv5tejl armv5tel armv4tl armv4l armv3l noarch\r\nbuild os : Linux\r\ncompatible build os's : Linux\r\ninstall arch : armv6l\r\ninstall os : Linux\r\ncompatible archs : armv6l armv5tejl armv5tel armv4tl armv4l armv3l noarch\r\ncompatible os's : Linux<\/pre>\n
The – rather messy – solution was to manually download all the associated Pidora rpms for the later<\/span> version of RPM, and then use the
\n# rpm -Uvh rpm*rpm – -ignorearch<\/strong> command to ‘locally’ update RPM to a later, correct version..<\/p>\n
The Pidora RPM update rpms can be found here:\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/pidora.ca\/pidora\/updates\/20\/armv6hl\/r\/<\/a> (scroll down…)<\/p>\n
Result:<\/p>\n
# rpm --showrc | head<\/strong> \r\nARCHITECTURE AND OS:\r\nbuild arch : armv6hl\r\ncompatible build archs: armv6hl noarch\r\nbuild os : Linux\r\ncompatible build os's : Linux\r\ninstall arch : armv6hl\r\ninstall os : Linux\r\ncompatible archs : armv6hl noarch\r\ncompatible os's : Linux<\/pre>\n
– and all subsequent yum update<\/strong>s worked OK, again..!<\/p>\n
