Hi,

Yes, it has a higher number and that's exactly what "not biarch safe" means. A 
biarch safe package manager doesn't rely on release numbers only. And 
generally, a package manager that is recommended as a replacement for an 
existing one should behave like the preconfigured one, otherwise it's not a 
replacement.

zypp prefers the architecture over the release number in already installed 
systems and the version-release combo only during system upgrades. All 
replacements should match this behaviour. There is no need to "blame" anything 
because it just works with the preconfigured package manager.

> This is not "some examples" - this is all you have.

First, one screwed installation is more than enough and second, everyone who 
prefers a screwed installation over having what is defined as a "big head" here 
can reproduce it on his very own system. I'm very comfortable with the size of 
my head.

Thanks for this highly technical on-topic wording. Just as a reminder, this is 
not about "being right", it's about preventing people from running into 
problems and concluding that "package management doesn't work on SL 10.1". Have 
a nice weekend.
