Doc Text:	.`glibc` now installs correct dependencies for 32-bit applications using `nss_db` Previously, the `nss_db.x86_64` package did not declare dependencies on the `nss_db.i686` package. Therefore automated installation did not install `nss_db.i686` on the system, despite having a 32-bit environment `glibc.i686` installed. As a consequence, 32-bit applications using `nss_db` failed to perform accurate user database lookups, while 64-bit applications in the same setup worked correctly. With this update, the `glibc` packages now have weak dependencies that trigger the installation of the `nss_db.i686` package when both `glibc.i686` and `nss_db` are installed on the system. As a result, 32-bit applications using `nss_db` now work correctly, even if the system administrator has not explicitly installed the `nss_db.i686` package.	Story Points:	---

Description Florian Weimer 2020-02-27 10:16:27 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1807821 +++

If a user installs just nss_db (which means just nss_db.x86_64), 32-bit applications will not work correctly because nss_db.i686 must be separately, now that the lesser-used NSS modules have been split from the main glibc package.

(A similar fix should be applied to nss_hesiod, but that is less important because it's supposedly deprecated.)
