Yes, I understand. I was referring to the 64-bit versions of my
32-bit packages. It took quite some period of discovery to determine
my operational needs and the packages required. I'm hoping to avoid
that re-experiencing that.
You shouldn't have allot of trouble matching the 64-bit version of any
package with the 32-bit version. Assuming there is a 64-bit version of
the package you want, package names are typically very similar between
the two architectures.
