Indeed, and good point. I guess at that point it's basically a pkg-collision, except that it's in a single package instead of two different packages. Too bad a package can't block itself and thus handle it the way different packages blocking each other handle that case! =;^) That's why symlinking both lib64 and lib32 to lib isn't a particularly good idea! =;^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
