[zypp-devel] Install both i586 and x86-64 versions of a package at the same time
Why ZYpp doesn't allows to install both i586 and x86-64 versions of a package at the same time? Where Smart says: # smart install ods Loading cache...

[Y/n/p/?]: n The problem seems to be (perhaps there are also others) that Smart has no problem installing "freealut-1.1.0-3.172@i586" when freealut-1.1.0-3.138@x86_64 is already installed. ZYpp doesn't seems to like this. freealut installs some documentation (the same in both i586 and x86-64) and a library (in different paths: lib vs lib64), so there is no cause to not install both of them at the same time. ods is only available for i586... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Well, smart is simply wrong here. SuSE uses -32bit packages to implement mixed architecture, whereas RedHat installs both i586 and x86_64. Please check the complains on the RedHat/Fedora lists to see why we're doing it different. ;-) Please create a "freealut-32bit" package. It's just adding a "baselibs.conf" file with a single line "freealut" to the package sources.

Also note that while smart proposes to install both architectures, this simply doesn't work on a SUSE system: you'll end up with just one architecture installed.

Done... for Factory. There is any policy about which packages should use this or should I just do this for every library I package? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

If nobody uses the 32bit package than there's no point in creating it. Turning that around: if there are chances that some application only existing in 32bit needs it, you should create it.
