I thought opensuse wasn't going to support a 32-bit release anymore?
Even if, often, when I'm looking through a batch of proposed solutions, I'll see: "nothing provides 'XXYZ', so we wanna remove about 20 x86_64 products and change architecture to i586 despite the inferior architecture".
Huh?... why would it not be able to use an x86_64 version of the same? ...
No, that's simply a side "misfeature" of the solver.
If there were no 32 bit versions, the solver will simply say there is no solution (as would happen with Leap). You basically have to interpret what it says and translate to "no solution".
Well, that's "sorta" what I thought, which is "sorta" what I wanted...since I don't have any of the 586 binaries pulled down, but the solver is only going by what is being offered in primary.xml.gz which has a bunch of i586 items.
Seems like from what Dominique is saying that I should only see those i586 packages when the equivalent x86_64 package isn't listed as even an option in the "primary.xml.gz" file, which, if I understand things, *SHOULD* be relatively rare?...
Yes, pretty rare. Something broke and the packages that you need failed to build. So, don't update today. Welcome to Tumbleweed :-D
Hmmmmm....rt? hmmm....
