So I am really curious why these are installed by default. What do I get from having systemd-32bit, samba-32bit, pam-32bit etc. installed on a 64-bit system?
The PAM configuration is agnostic to biarch, it actually is for both.
Thats why all packags with PAM modules Recommend their -32bit equivalent.
Otherwise you might find missing PAM snippets if there is ever a 32bit program trying to do PAM.
But wouldn't that program be responsible for requiring pam-32bit then? Actually it seems to be the case, for example systemd-32bit does require pam-32bit. So this explains why pam-32bit is installed. What I really need to know is what systemd-32bit itself is good for. Nothing requires it, and the package description doesn't say anything about that sub-package specifically. Same for samba-32bit. -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 Support -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
