Sure, this is actually what I mean. The arch of the syslog-ng package
is set to amd64 (the name does not really matter) and I can't seem to
get yum to understand that. Might be possible to solve using yum
configuration but as far as I understand yum on a default Fedora or
CentOS installation will not find packages with amd64 as arch.
