Hello,
I don't want/need any *-32bit packages - but zypper dup always wants to pull in lots of them (see below). Therefore I had *-32bit locked in zypper for quite a while.
Today I finally had some time to track this down [1] and found out that the root cause is
# rpm -q --recommends patterns-base-enhanced_base |grep 32 glibc-32bit glibc-locale-32bit
zypper al glibc-32bit is enough to keep the *-32bit packages out.
Is there a good reason for the Recommends: glibc-32bit and glibc-locale-32bit? I doubt - if a package needs a *-32bit package, it can/should require it.
I'm in favor of such a change, as in most cases -32bit stuff is not needed (exceptions strat when you install wine / steam
In plus, I know of fun side effects at least on the live images, IF any of the 32bit stuff is being dragged in later on - as this happens to mess up the pam stack very quickly
(e.g. if you have a single pam=bit, the stack is getting very fragile)
See also bugs https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544314 and https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537343 (I hope the refs are correct, boo is currently not answering)
Cheers, Dominique
PS: there is actually also a bug which I assigned to myself, to get rid of -32bit on default installs
Because of this Thread, I made an image on a separate SSD, deleted all -32bit, added a lock for "*-32bit" and "*game*" Then I restarted my linux box again, I use my box for DigiKam, Gimp, Scilab, LibreOffice and some KDEnlive. I think my weeds are tumbling very fine. :) Can´t explain in English :( Die Zeit wird es zeigen Gruß Richy -- Signatur ??? Wenn Du hier eine Signatur siehst ... :o Was hast Du geraucht?
