I don't see any diferences in behaviour, yet.
The difference would be that apps using db would run. I had this problem with subversion.
Yes, but I have had the wrong version installed since late June, and I haven't noticed anything, as far as I know. I'll have to check what apps need db, but they must be a lot, or with high impact, or SuSE wouldn't have bothered to put a 686 version. ...
for db*, i686 has the highest for glibc*, i586 has the highest
If the packagemanager throws all i{5,6}86 packages on one pile, they will automatically get mixed up, unless the packagemanager has built-in logic to prevent that (which I doubt).
Ah... I see your point. Right, it should be some special logic by Yast which decided which version (586 or 686) to install. Either it doesn't exist, or is wrong. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
