Jiri - Sorry about being vague in not specifying what update version I used for
testing.
I had an existing X_64 11.3 installation - all o.k
I then performed an update using 11.3 I586 to illistrate the potential error.
I see the major issue of not restricting the same version from X_64 to update
to I586 as huge. The Package manager works well in the huge list of conflicts
of libray files being downgraded to I586 as part of the update.
BUT if the same version of an existing X_64 installation being updated to the
same version I586 the net end result would see the PC unable to boot as the
I586 Kernel would be installed and replaced once the PC boots from its
harddrive rather than any DVD.
Whilst I am no infavour of inhibiting most any user action, I think the Package
Manager solver should terminate the installation rather than present hundereds
of conflicts to downgrage X_64 library files to I586
