Hi,
I have x86_64 machines running RHEL5 and am trying to install snoopy
through the customized package handling machine configurations.
Since the machines are 32bit compatible, snoopy.i386 needs to be installed
also.
So I've tried the following:
Requires: snoopy(i386)
This should work on newer versions of rpm (actually on packages built with
newer versions).
Nope, the syntax is somewhat different (literal arch is not involved). See
http://rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/ArchDependencies for the details. But
yeah, that wont help on RHEL 5.
On RHEL 5 you can try to work around by requiring files that
are unique to both archs - typically files in /usr/lib(64)?
Yup. That, or if you're building your own packages of course nothing
prevents you from adding extra per-arch provide-require pairs to them.
