[Mageia-dev] 32 bits packages preferred over 64 bits packages?

[Samuel Verschelde]

Hi,

Maybe this question will demonstrate that I have no experience with 64 bits systems, but I don't mind it :)

When installing the git package, several dependencies are pulled, but two of them come from 32 bits media:

[root at localhost ~]# LC_ALL=C urpmi git
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
   Package                        Version      Release       Arch
(medium "Core Release")
  cvs                            1.12.13      18.mga1       x86_64  (suggested)
  git                            1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64
  git-arch                       1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64  (suggested)
  git-core                       1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64
  git-core-oldies                1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64  (suggested)
  git-cvs                        1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64  (suggested)
  git-email                      1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64
  git-prompt                     1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64  (suggested)
  git-svn                        1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64
  gitk                           1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64
  perl-Digest-HMAC               1.20.0       2.mga1        noarch  (suggested)
  perl-Git                       1.7.4.4      2.mga1        x86_64
(medium "Core Updates")
  perl-SVN                       1.6.17       1.1.mga1      x86_64
(medium "Core 32bit Release")
  perl-Authen-SASL               2.150.0      3.mga1        noarch  (suggested)
  perl-Error                     0.170.160    1.mga1        noarch
23MB of additional disk space will be used.
4.7MB of packages will be retrieved.


I don't understand why perl-Authen-SASL and perl-Error are installed from 32 bits media instead of the 64 bits Core Release.

Do you have any clue?
