[Bug 552004] [NEW] poldek: impossible to upgrade from i686 to x86_64

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

Public bug reported:

I have a i686 th system. Upgraded rpm and poldek (to
poldek-0.30-0.20080820.23.40.x86_64). Fixed /etc/rpm/platform to contain
x86_64 version.


Tried to use poldek to upgrade/switch to x86_64 packages BUT poldek
shows no possible upgrades in poldek "llu" command.


What's worse doing "install --reinstall dos2unix" to make poldek switch
i686 package to x86_64 one (that worked long time ago) it... installs
dos2unix x86_64 version while still leaving i686 files and rpmdb
information. So I end up with having both dos2unix installed (i686 and
x86_64 in rpmdb) but files on filesystem are only from x86_64 version.


How can I migrate from i686 to x86_64 now with this silly behaviour?
