might I ask the reasoning behind this? I found the current RHEL/Fedora approach much better.
For example; at work we use IBM Lotus Notes, which is a 32 bit package. To install it in a 32 bit or 64 bit environment the command is the same (i.e. yum localinstall) as it will pull in the correct 32 bit dependencies. Basically hassle free.
The guys that run Debian/Ubuntu notebooks, have to go through a series of dependency problems just to install the package in a 64 bit environment with getlibs and the like:
