I guess what you are referring to is the fact that we share the update
trees with our bi- or even tri-arch products and those trees are located in
pub/suse/i386/... This should be the same on all mirrors. But what's so
problematic about it?
It's at least confusing. Moreover I personally never even looked for x86_64
packages under an i386 branch, just thought the ftp admin only mirrored the
i386 part, so I missed
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64/
And I convinced myself, that partial mirroring is the only possible
explanation, because on ftp.gwdg.de at the same location, there is an x86_64
branch. Compare
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/
and
ftp://ftp.uni-ulm.de/pub/suse/
Nevertheless on ftp.uni-ulm.de there are all files to install and update also
x86_84. I didn't believe our ftp admin, until I tried it myself
* x86_64 packages sometimes not mirrored due to their redundancy
Redundancy in terms of what?
What I just wrote: Why is there ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/x86_64, if I only
need ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386 to install and update a x86_64 system.
Because of this:

So 9.0 and 9.1 still need the "old" tree.
