CESA-2022:0124 firefox missing i686 RPM

Post by brilong » 2022/01/24 15:28:11

I posted this in the Security Support forum but have no responses so far.

Upstream published firefox-91.5.0-1.el7_9.i686.rpm and firefox-91.5.0-1.el7_9.x86_64.rpm. On a multi-arch CentOS 7 host that includes both, we need the CentOS team to publish both i686 and x86_64 RPMs. At this time, only firefox-91.5.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm was published. Please consider publishing the i686 RPM as well so we can properly upgrade multi-arch hosts.

Please note, this also happened a while back where upstream published both arches and CentOS only published 64-bit: viewtopic.php?p=326711

Thank you!

I reported your other post to the relevant people and was told that the i686 package was then built and published. A quick yum list firefox shows that both x86_^4 and i686 packages are in the repos now and both are the same version: 91.5.0-1.el7.centos
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you, TrevorH. Since there was no reply in the other forum, I had no idea to look for it. Thanks again.
