Anaconda could run with bestarch=0 to cover this. Hmmm, actually, is firefox really the only case we care about? Warren's "firefox-32" kludge says in the spec file "Unfortunately, we cannot have a Requires line that explicitly means /usr/lib/ 32bit firefox." But using "Requires: /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/firefox-bin" works for me. That's a bit annoying because of the version number -- either the 32-bit package would have to provide a unique, non-versioned file [*], or the firefox-32 package would have to be updated simultaneously with each firefox release. But having that requires line in there makes it so if I yum install the x86_64 firefox-32, it pulls in firefox.i386.... This all seems so easy I *must* be missing something. :) * other than "/etc/gre.d/gre.conf", which is too kludgy even for me. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
