I am on x86_64 Centos 7. I need to install a Package.noarch, but dependencies must be 32 bit.

I cannot use:

yum install Package.i686

since there is no such thing.

Does anyone know how to tell yum to use specific arch for dependencies?

There are ~100 dependencies, so manual approach is not preferable.

  • dnf adds --forcearch that probably does this, but that doesn't help you on centos. Commented Mar 8, 2018 at 17:14
  • CentOS 7 : yum install ./Package.noarch ... and any 32bits available dependencies will be installed too. There are ~ 1880 i686 packages in the repo : mirror.centos.org/centos/7.4.1708/os/x86_64/Packages .... Commented Mar 8, 2018 at 20:09
  • @KnudLarsen, not sure what you mean. When I try to simply install the package all the dependencies come with x86_64, since Centos is x86_64. There are i686 packages in base/7/x86_64, but yum doesn't try to install them and I can't find a way to tell it to, that's the problem. Commented Mar 8, 2018 at 22:38
  • @jordanm, thanks for pointer! I might be able to use it. Commented Mar 8, 2018 at 22:41
  • I would simply rebuild the package to "BuildArchitectures: i686" ( Specified in the build file [name].spec ) ... Then the dependencies should be what you want at install time. Commented Mar 8, 2018 at 23:50
