Hi all,
on a previous post from me related to some YUM/Kyum
problems when updating to KDE 3.5.4 (still not
working, BTW), I found out there's some 32-bit
software installed on my x86_64 system.
Example:
# rpm -qa | grep qt3
qt3-devel-tools-3.3.4-28
qt3-devel-3.3.4-28
qt3-32bit-3.3.4-28.5
qt3-3.3.4-28.5
qt3-devel-32bit-3.3.4-28
That was installed either by YaST or apt-get.
I guess it's to keep some (backwards) compatibility
for some applications. Am I right or is it safe to
remove such 32-bit packages??
TIA,
Martin
