a very simple question about zypp multiarch handling. How does zypp deal with the following situations:
1) A package is available in the base installation source for both x86_64 and i586, and in the update repo there is just an i586 package. The x86_64 package is currently installed and the i586 package in the update repo has a higher version number.
Does it "upgrade" (wrt. the version) resp. "downgrade" (wrt. the architecture)? Or will it keep the installed package?
thats just a design bug in smart. known upstream. pascal has a patch in his package that stops it. but upstream doesnt like the solution.
Note that it's still partial. It works 100% for the package you want to
install (e.g. if you say "smart install foo") but not yet always for the
packages smart installs to fulfill dependencies. I have to investigate
that further.
I'll try to discuss an optimal implementation with Gustavo Niemeyer, to
get it merged upstream.
cheers
