Description Mark Lane 2004-02-04 15:16:35 UTC

Description of problem:
When upgrading with yum both 32 Bit and 64 Bit Mozilla from 1.5 to
1.6, the 64 Bit version installs last and clobbers the 32bit
/usr/bin/mozilla binary. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mozilla-1.6-0.x86_64, mozilla-1.6-0.i386

How reproducible:
Should work on any install. You could reproduce it by re-installing
the x86_64 version (if the 32bit version is installed).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup yum to download both i386 and x86_64 from Devel. (make sure
exactarch=1). 
2. update mozilla to 1.6. This will update both packages.
3. I am not sure the easiest way to find out that /usr/bin/mozilla is
64Bit. I found it out when I copied my plugins into
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins/ and checked the installed plugins.
  
Actual results:
64 Bit version of /usr/bin/mozilla over writes the 32Bit version.

Expected results:
/usr/bin/mozilla remains the 32Bit version.

Additional info:
I am not sure what would be the best way to solve this. Normally
installing the x86_64 package last is desired so yum is doing what it
should be. You could stop the x86_64 version from installing
/usr/bin/mozilla but that would make problems for people not
installing the 32Bit version.

Maybe we need /usr/bin64 as well as /usr/lib64, etc.

Well, on the bright side, mozilla is fixed with x86_64 :)
/usr/bin/mozilla is a script, and replace lib64 with lib to change it
to 32bit (I have a patch to the RPM which will put a single
/usr/bin/mozilla there and allow the user to select 64bit, but will
default to 32bit if it exists, and should be safe for all arches. 
/etc/gre.conf is a different issue, and I put off working a fix for
that until 64bit mozilla was working.
