Hi,
The current RPMs do not play well RHEL's multiarch / multilib policies. For
a multiarch repo, a 32-bit RPM is placed in the 64-bit repository if it has a
.so.X file in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64.
Because xrootd-server and xrootd-client have shared libraries in /usr/lib,
they get marked as multiarch, and will result in the 32-bit libraries in the
64-bit repo when one uses RHEL tools to manage the repository (such as Koji).
Hence, "yum install xrootd-client" will result in both 32-bit and 64-bit
xrootd-client being attempted.
This is an issue because, for RHEL proper, the 32-bit libperl.so *isn't*
multiarch. Hence, "yum install xrootd-client" will likely fail due to the
missing perl dep.
