whats my problem is, i am building a combined package for 32-bit and 64-bit using rpmbuild with --noarch
On 64-bit system, all files are getting installed whatever mentioned in the %files section of the spec file.(Both 32-bit and 64-bit files).
On 32-bit system also, all files are getting installed whatever mentioned in the %files section of the spec file but 64-bit files are removed during postinstall(I wrote a code for removal of 64-bit in %post section of spec file).
The problem is, on 32-bit machine, package manager displays all files when queried to display the files installed by the package. So 64-bit files being displayed on 32-bit machine even removing those files during post install.(eg rpm -ql)
Is there any good way to remove 64-bit files on 32-bit machine?

pmdarpm
PMDARPM(1) General Commands Manual PMDARPM(1)
NAME
pmdarpm - RPM packages performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
SYNOPSIS
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rpm/pmdarpm [-C] [-d domain] [-l logfile] [-r path] [-U username]
DESCRIPTION
pmdarpm is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which extracts performance metrics reflecting the state of the RPM package database
managed by rpm(1).
The rpm PMDA exports metrics that describe each package installed on a system, as well as some cumulative totals. When the RPM database
changes the PMDA automatically detects this and uses a background thread to asynchronously refresh its values.
A brief description of the pmdarpm command line options follows:
-C Verify the package iteration code by scanning the RPM database once, then exiting. Only useful for problem diagnosis and testing.
-d It is absolutely crucial that the performance metrics domain number specified here is unique and consistent. That is, domain should
be different for every PMDA on the one host, and the same domain number should be used for the same PMDA on all hosts.
-l Location of the log file. By default, a log file named rpm.log is written in the current directory of pmcd(1) when pmdarpm is
started, i.e. $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd. If the log file cannot be created or is not writable, output is written to the standard error
instead.
-r Specify an alternate path to the RPM database (default is /var/lib/rpm/Packages).
-U User account under which to run the agent. The default is the unprivileged "pcp" account.
INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names, help text and values for the rpm performance metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rpm
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rpm
# ./Remove
pmdarpm is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
installed or removed.
FILES
$PCP_PMCDCONF_PATH
command line options used to launch pmdarpm
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rpm/help
default help text file for the rpm metrics
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rpm/Install
installation script for the pmdarpm agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rpm/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdarpm agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/rpm.log
default log file for error messages and other information from pmdarpm
PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the
file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura-
tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
