Chris,

FYI your patch worked great for me on x86_64.

After following your instructions, I used the instructions at the link
below to get vzpkgcache working for Centos5 x86_64 (I'm assuming they
are still required for x86_64):

http://http://wiki.openvz.org/Install_OpenVZ_on_a_x86_64_system_Centos-Fedora

I had to make one additional change (replacing vzrpm44 shared library
below) not documented on this page because I was getting a "wrong ELF
class: ELFCLASS32" error:
cp /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/_rpmmodule.so
/usr/share/vzpkgtools/vzrpm44/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm

I had already removed a related vzrpm43 library as per the
instructions mentioned above:
rm /usr/share/vzpkgtools/vzrpm43/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpmmodule.so

thanks for the patch to get me started!
Bill
