This is due to some PAM requirements conceptional misunderstandings.
We have to have both 32bit and 64bit PAM modules usually and this bled into requirements of some packages.
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...
You have already opened a bug and we will handle it there.
The problem is btw pam-config which fails if not both modules are there, which caused the interesting additional requirements.
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.
