C6: Why I686 Are Installed On X86_64 Based Arch?
Hi all,
I noticed that when I install some packages (precise list not defined), my x86_64 C6 tends to install both 32bits and 64bits at the same time:
# yum install fontconfig freetype \
libfreetype.so.6 libfontconfig.so.1 \
libstdc++.so.6
Gives: http://pastebin.com/FNzztefV
My repository configuration is same: http://pastebin.com/Hf38sAic No 3rd party repository.
No i686 initially installed:
# rpm -aq | grep -Ev ‘(noarch|x86_64)’
gpg-pubkey-c105b9de-4e0fd3a3
#
I dont want that, unless I’ts really mandatory: Is it?
One solution would be to append the architecture to the package name to install, but how to make it default, in order to save typing?
Thank you.

Add this to /etc/yum.conf:
exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686
Add exclude=*.i?86 to [main] in /etc/yum.conf
