https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=199819 ------- Comment #5 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-09-19 17:48 MST ------- zypp does not switch the architecture of installed packages for a reason. It will break things (unlikely on i686 with i586/i686 packages, but *fatal* on x86_64 with ix86/x86_64 packages). This does usually not constitute a problem with SUSE packages because they don't switch architectures, but it can be a problem with 3rd party packages. Maybe the i586/i686 switch can be special-cased? i586/i686 are "really" compatible while ix86/x86_64 are just "fake" compatible (the ix86/x86_64 case is why zypp doesn't switch archtectures, but the i586/i686 case puts it into question). Btw. this is more likely a libzypp issue than a zmd issue. Maybe also interesting: The case where noarch packages are involved in an architecture switch. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
