Hi all: I check this page -> http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/freshrpms/index.html and for suse 10.1 x86_32 I see a lot of files like this: FA_clxclient-debuginfo-1.0.2-4.x86_64.rpm
Just wondering, Fedora users seem to have problems when running apt-rpm on multi-architecture repositories. I've been told that multi-architecture is necessary for 64-bit systems for compat libraries for some apps.
Is SUSE having more success in this area?
Just a little more info, per http://lwn.net/Articles/128952/ , for the reasons cited, Lineox (RHEL 4 rebuild distro) uses apt, but not for their x86_64 edition.
"this is because apt does not work well with systems that contain a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit applications and libraries"
If SUSE developers have solved this problem, great!
Not fully... The x88_64 repositories contain all the ix86 packages too. I can't do a qualified selection at the server side, so it is up to the user's side to deselect ix86 packages "where not necessary"... Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
