Description Qing He 2011-02-22 22:40:33 UTC 
using sato images from 
http://autobuilder.pokylinux.org/nightly/20110212-1/qemu/qemuppc/

and rpm files from 
http://autobuilder.pokylinux.org/nightly/20110212-1/rpm/ppc603e/

1)
# rpm -ivh rpm-dbg-5.4.0-r11.ppc603e.rpm
warning: package rpm-dbg-5.4.0-r11.ppc603e is intended for a ppc603e-pc-linux-gnu platform

where it in fact installs no packages, either it should install the package or it should return an error

2)
# rpm -i rpm-dbg-5.4.0-r11.ppc603e.rpm

without -v option, no error or warning is printed, but the package is not installed

3)
1)
# rpm -ivh --force rpm-dbg-5.4.0-r11.ppc603e.rpm
warning: package rpm-dbg-5.4.0-r11.ppc603e is intended for a ppc603e-pc-linux-gnu platform

--force doesn't overcome the warning

May turn out to be a duplicate of 756...

> May turn out to be a duplicate of 756...

The bug is reported against the error message, and '-v' option

a warning is quite misleading at this point, and is omitting '-v' there is nothing reported but silent failure.
Comment 4 Mark Hatle 2011-03-01 08:21:37 UTC 
I am lowering the importance of this issue.  The symptom of a failure -- without showing an error has been fixed by a correction to the rpm "platform" configuration file.  But this bug, as reported, still exists.
Comment 5 Mark Hatle 2011-03-16 19:04:02 UTC 
Can we please re-verify this issue.

I think it's been resolved now.
Comment 6 Saul Wold 2012-05-01 16:31:49 UTC 
We should test this please.
