This package is obviously neither a SUSE package nor built for SUSE. > What would I break if I just did something like this? > >> ln -s /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib64/ Not much, probably. But it's ugly. If the package makes this wrong assumption about the filesystem layout, it might make more of them. > Why is the x86_64 perl rpm installed in /usr/lib and not /usr/lib64? Because that's where perl belongs. perl has its own multiarch directory hierarchy below /usr/lib/perl5, so there is simply no need to install it into /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib. Using /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib for perl would even be counter-productive because it would make all perl modules architecture dependent. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
