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
