[Bug 354164] provide/require -32bit modules
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354164 User sbrabec@novell.com added comment http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354164#c28 --- Comment #28 from Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec@novell.com> 2009-06-24 02:50:51 MDT --- No, it is a step forward: Now you cannot install 64bit clean system under some circumstances: You enable LDAP in the YaST configuration => pam-ldap-32bit is forced to be installed => pam-32bit glibc-32bit and other packages are introduced. Now you have no guarantee, that your system will work correctly: If you install a new gtk2 engine and you have acroread(based on gtk2-32bit) installed, you may get its bad theming, because you have no guarantee, that 32bit engine is installed. Those supplements should be added for all affected packages. They are well formed and should never introduce unneeded installation. Example: gtk2-engines-32bit will contain: supplements "packageand(gtk2-engines:gtk2-32bit)" It means: IF gtk2-engines AND gtk2-32bit are installed, THEN install gtk2-engines-32bit. Without already installed gtk2-32bit it will do nothing. With gtk2-32bit installed, it is correct to require gtk2-engines-32bit, otherwise your gtk2 theming may fail for 32bit applications. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
