rpm -q in %post in RedHat 9

["Michael J. Carter" <mcarter lanl gov>]

In RedHat 7.X one could determine the ARCH of a system by executing the
following command in arch:

carter guglielmo$ rpm -q --qf '%{ARCH}\n' kernel
i686

This returns null in RedHat 9 when executed inside kickstart. Does
anyone know what changed and if there are any workarounds?

Thanks,
mjc
