several  package failures log

I made this same test Sep 2 and there were 1027 packages to install.
With this test ~100 were downloaded and ~50 were installed leaving the ~50 attached failures.

From the log, it seems that the medium "core" (= core x86_64) is disable; this could explain why it tries to install i586 packages on an x86_64 system and fails.

Please, could you verify that an x86_64 core/release medium is enable and up-to-date.
urpmq --list-media active  ?

Oops, my bad. Your are correct. Off to modify my add media script to test count from urpmq --list-media active to prevent this problem from reoccurring.

Sorry to have bothered you and thanks for your time.

Test bed is pulling 1000+ packages as I resolve this bug report.
