There was a news at linux.com, it claimed that Novell was going to concentrate its efforts on RPMv4 development. "Novell has joined Red Hat in the rpm.org project, while Mandriva, cAos, and PLD have decided to work with Johnson's rpm5.org effort."

Me neither. But I'm not sitting on the same floor as MLS ;)
Actually, I remember that mls and jeff always have extensive conversations, whenever they meet. :-)
From what I can remember from IRL discussions with Jeff is that the main goals of RPM 5 were actually to put the disparate and parallel efforts of the different distributions back in common. Which is why I'm wondering Novell/SUSE isn't involved.
Anybody to set up an rpm5 buildservice repo?
SUSE does have its specific ways to use RPM that differ from other distributions, most notably not using arch coloring but -32bit subpackages instead (for biarch) [1]. I don't know how far it translates into RPM codebase patches or just conventions. Might be quite tricky to have a properly functioning RPM 5.x for openSUSE somewhere if it requires the former, especially if they're not merged and properly integrated by upstream. [1] not that I'm saying it's bad -- obviously, openSUSE is light years ahead of almost all other distributions in terms of biarch support so.. it can't be that bad ;) cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v http://www.fosdem.org http://opensuse.org

While I thought it strange that my 32bit PPC system had 64bit packages installed, it didn't occur to me to report this as a bug when I noticed[0]. However, I've added some details to your report, showing a/the probable reason for the YOU problem. Purely for info, these are the 64bit packages that I have installed: audit-libs-64bit-1.5.5-13 ConsoleKit-64bit-0.2.1-57 dbus-1-64bit-1.0.2-59 glibc-64bit-2.6.1-18.2 libxcrypt-64bit-2.4-71 nss-mdns-64bit-0.9-42 pam-64bit-0.99.8.1-15 [0] don't ask why.

These two are the problem packages, or rather their 32bit version, as they require the 64bit versions to be installed. I checked the whole openSUSE 10.3 PPC ftp repository with a for cycle, and only these two 32bit packages are broken: # for i in `ls | grep -v 64bit` ; do echo $i ; rpm -qRp $i | grep 64bit ; done | tee /tmp/64bit and found: ConsoleKit-0.2.1-57.ppc.rpm ConsoleKit-64bit and nss-mdns-0.9-42.ppc.rpm nss-mdns-64bit = 0.9 Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Could you provide an online update for ppc32, which kicks off these 64bit requirements? Right now the situation is, that 100+ 64bit packages are about to be installed on update, but it fails, as pre/post install scripts obviously don not work, as 64bit software does not execute at all on 32bit...

Nope, pam-config has no problem in this case, because pam-config detects that it is a pure 32bit system and that it does not need 64bit and 32bit PAM modules. But RPM does not know about such "weak" dependencies, there you can only depend packages or not. And if you have a 64bit POWER system, you need the hard dependencies to be able to login.

That's not really true. It's just that there are two branches of rpm, one stable branch (maintained by Panu) and one development branch (maintained by Jeff). We need a reliable version, so we use the stable branch for now. At some time in the future, Jeff's branch might be copied into the stable branch. If you want to experiment with rpm5, feel free to create packages in the build services.
