Hi,
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?
2) Quite the same as 1), but during a system upgrade: Any differences in
this respect between a system upgrade and an online update?

zypp does not change the architecture of an installed package.
When checking for 'best' (or 'better') package
- architecture is compared first
- then edition (epoch, version, release)
2) Quite the same as 1), but during a system upgrade: Any differences in
this respect between a system upgrade and an online update?
Yes. System upgrade might change (upgrade) the architecture of a 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.

Yes. System upgrade might change (upgrade) the architecture of a package.
OK, sounds reasonable.
The reason why I'm asking is opera. opera is currently available for
i586 and x86_64, but the x86_64 package contains i586 binaries. In fact,
both packages' content is identical.
The zypp behaviour described above means that the x86_64 package cannot
be dropped for further 10.1 updates because zypp would keep the
installed x86_64 package and not install updates which are available for
i586 only.
But it can be done for 10.2, because zypp will switch to the i586
package during the system upgrade. This would save ~6MB in
inst-source-extra and even more in the update tree because opera is
updated often.
