Description Jesse Keating 2008-03-27 11:51:39 UTC

$ pkcon search name python-magic
available    python-magic         i386    4.23-5.fc9      koji-static-i386 Python bindings for the libmagic API              
available    python-magic         x86_64  4.23-5.fc9      local        Python bindings for the libmagic API


The UI throws out the .x86_64 result leaving only the i386 result, which would be clearly wrong on my x86_64 host.

Talking some with the yum upstream and this is a bit of a hard problem to solve.

However they're talking about having a search flag or api flag that will remove .arch from results and collapse duplicates into just a single return, like say "python-magic".  Then when the user clicks that to install, "python-magic" is sent as the install request and local yum multilib policy will dictate which arches are to be searched for/installed.

I've fixed this in git, removing the pk_client_set_name_filter method - we need to fix this a better way, perhaps with the NEWEST filter I've just added to git.
