Hi,
I had this issue only twice by now, but I think this is a general
problem.
In the recent times libraries in the repos are only built dynamically
while the statical versions are disabled.
This can lead to several problems if someone needs to compile a program
and needs to link statically agai

Such rebuilds are only hidden if a program is linked

Yes, because I usually edit many of the .desktop files
in /usr/share/applications due to a missing menu editor in Xfce and a
terrible menu

Right, that's what NoUpgrade in pacman.conf does. ;-)

What about asking those developers of proprietary software to release
x86_64 builds, too?
If nobody complains, they won't never change anything.

No, it can't. This is only possible with multilib (lib32-*) support. So
you need to install every library twice to be able to run 32 bit
software.

Btw., I don't see any good reasons why developers of proprietary
software couldn't build x86_64 packages. They should only need to
compile their softw

I disagree because configuring a pppoe client with pure ppp is far too
