Hi all,

my system is an Intel Core 2 Duo, and I installed x86_64 version of
Fedora 7 from scratch, but my /etc/rpm/platform has:

ia32e-redhat-linux

I've read in a lot of places on the net suggestions that it should
contain:

x86_64-redhat-linux

So, should I change it?

Or simply remove /etc/rpm/platform

Thks for the replies.

So, is this a bug? Should I file a bug report?
I am not sure.

According to rpm's sources, the ia32e is a member of the x86_64 family.
So, this setting could be intentional. However, I don't know what and
why it has been set to this value on your system.

What's the purpose of
the /etc/rpm/platform anyway?
It's internally used by rpm to override a machine's "platform".

E.g. setting it to "i586-redhat-linux" causes rpm to ignore all
"*.i686.rpm"s.
