[ATrpms-users] kmdl rpm naming problem in rpm db

I've just tried to install an atrpms  drbd-kmdl rpm on 64-bit SL6
(drbd-kmdl-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64-8.4.0-31.el6.x86_64.rpm)

The rpm installs successfully, but I then see odd behaviour from the rpm
database.

If I split the name as queried from the database, I see the following:

]$ rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}\n%{VERSION}\n%{RELEASE}\n' | grep
drbd-kmdl

drbd-kmdl-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64
8.4.0
31.el6

However, if I then try to query that rpm based on the name field, I see:

]$ rpm -q drbd-kmdl-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64
package drbd-kmdl-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64 is not installed

The name by which it does appear when queried is:

]$ rpm -q drbd-kmdl-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64.x86_64
drbd-kmdl-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64-8.4.0-31.el6.x86_64



I don't know if this is an issue with the rpm itself, or a bug in
rpmlib.  Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Matthew
