I have a problem with what I think is a "buildrequires" in a plf package
that I would like to try and fix myself. Basically, what I think is
going on is that the MythTV-backend package provided on the 64 bit plf
mirrors has an unnecessary dependency on one or more i586 packages. I
have a 64bit machine and I would like to eliminate these where possible.
Note that I am currently in the process of reading the Cooker HOWTO as
well as the RPM howto.

Qs:

1. I should ask if this is the right place to ask about how to
repair/build PLF RPMs or is there a more appropriate place?

Specific problems:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# urpmi mythtv-backend
Some package requested cannot be installed:
mythtv-backend-0.18.1-20050618.4.1.102plf.i586 (due to unsatisfied
libjack.so.0)
Continue? (Y/n) n

So is it there or not?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qa | grep jackit
jackit-0.99.0-2mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# find /usr/lib64/ -name "libjack.so.0"
/usr/lib64/libjack.so.0

OK. So it *is* there but mythTV can't find it or wont use it. I tried
putting in a link but either I put it in the wrong place or the RPM
package is looking for something else.

Summary     : The Jack Audio Connection Kit
Description :
JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the Linux
operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to
an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between
themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as a
normal application), or can they can run within a JACK server (ie. a
"plugin").

JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been
designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio
work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous
execution of all clients, and low latency operation.
