</I>&gt;<i>  Hi all,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The Dutch tax service makes life difficult for (64-bit) Mageia users
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> because the tax filing program expects the i586 versions of libxext6 and
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> libsm6 to be around.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The tax service claim on their web site that Ubuntu 12.x and Linux Mint
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 13 are supported. Could it be that they have these libraries
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> preinstalled on 64 bit platforms?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Would it be possible to provide some kind of stub package that downloads
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the program with the required dependencies, like Arch does? (
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages/belastingdienst-**ib2012/&lt;https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/belastingdienst-ib2012/">https://aur.archlinux.org/**packages/belastingdienst-**ib2012/&lt;https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/belastingdienst-ib2012/</A>&gt;)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Most binary-only i586 programs expects additional 32 bits libraires
</I>&gt;<i> dependencies: skype, for instance. On a pure 64 bits systems, these
</I>&gt;<i> libraries won't be installed, and they won't even be available directly, as
</I>&gt;<i> long as 32 bits additional package sources are not configured...
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
I think we configure the 32 bits media by default
Having a 32 bits package installing this app and having the proper
dependencies would make sense


&gt;<i> I'm effraid than endlessly adding 32bits dependencies on our 64 bits
</I>&gt;<i> packages, such as we did with pulseaudio for skype case, or adding 'stub'
</I>&gt;<i> packages here, won't scale indefinitly to match every piece of softwares we
</I>&gt;<i> can't distribute ourselves. First, they are exceptions to our
</I>&gt;<i> 'self-containment' package sources policy... Second, dependencies won't
</I>&gt;<i> adress the package source configuration issue.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> So, what about adressing end users intelligence, and document all those
</I>&gt;<i> issues on a central 'compatibility' page on our wiki, instead of relying on
</I>&gt;<i> such kind of hacks ?
</I>&gt;<i>
