Hi all:
I check this page ->
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/freshrpms/index.html
and for suse 10.1 x86_32 I see a lot of files like this:
FA_clxclient-debuginfo-1.0.2-4.x86_64.rpm

Just wondering, Fedora users seem to have problems when running apt-rpm
on multi-architecture repositories. I've been told that
multi-architecture is necessary for 64-bit systems for compat libraries
for some apps.

Is SUSE having more success in this area?

Just a little more info, per http://lwn.net/Articles/128952/ , for the
reasons cited, Lineox (RHEL 4 rebuild distro) uses apt, but not for
their x86_64 edition.

  "this is because apt does not work well with systems that contain a mix
   of 32-bit and 64-bit applications and libraries"

If SUSE developers have solved this problem, great!

Not fully...
The x88_64 repositories contain all the ix86 packages too.

I can't do a qualified selection at the server side, so it is up to the user's side to deselect ix86 packages "where not necessary"...

Cheers -e
