AFAIK installing packages of different architectures must be allowed.
Why "must"?
x86-64 boxes still need 32bit software (flash, video codecs et al). And I take it this is the way things are going to be for long, long time. There will always be some commercial shonk that has not been ported to x86-64. BTW: installing 32bit Firefox on x86-64 is easy, but has anyone succeeded running both 32bit and 64bit konqueror on the same host? Installs fine, but screws up KDE completely as files collide :/. Mysterious, RPM should complain about collision.
If things break due to this, it's the contents of the packages that are broken and not the package manager..
I really wonder how it could happen that both architectures were installed. smart does _not_ do that automagically.
Yeah, but you can request it to do it ( @arch switch ). -- // Janne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
