It does not work when using rpm directly
So? Plenty of things don't work when using rpm directly.
There is difference between missing automatic dependency resolution and download and silently installing package that cannot work correctly due to missing dependency. It is OK to not install package that lacks prerequisites (even though it could be annoying). It is not OK to silently install package that cannot work.
Very few people will use RPM directly. When you double-click an RPM in openSUSE, it's opened by default (last time I checked) with zypper (or something that uses libzypp), and zypper will know what to do. People that use RPM directly will know how to fix this (it's quite unlikely they'll be newbies). Now, I truly aggree: 32bit packages should add the provides for libname(32bit). But that will take time to be implemented (ie: next release). Recommends is a good workaround till then. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
