Mageia forum

This is an x86_64 machine running the very recent Mageia5 -RC
Tried to install postfix:

Code: Select all

# urpmi -a postfix
A requested package cannot be installed:
postfix-2.10.3-5.mga5.x86_64 (due to conflicts with postfix-2.10.3-5.mga5.i586)
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n

Should I have answered Y?
Why am I being told about an i586 conflict when the i586 package is not installed?
urpme postfix
unknown package: postfix

Code: Select all

[root@bach ~]# urpme postfix-2.10.3-5.mga.i586
unknown package: postfix-2.10.3-5.mga.i586

From the urpmi man page:

-a If multiple packages match the given substring, install them all.

Try without the -a option

Duh!
Configuring the new RC installation, I was blindly repeating .bash_history commands from Mageia4 without thinking too hard!
Thanks
