Packages in multilib pairs need to have proper attributes on common files, e.g. either have identical files or exlcude some attributes to check. This is usually checked by packagers for the same version of a package. So most probably the gtk package is OK, but when apt found out that one arch branch needed to be kept back, while the other could be installed, it created a situation where two different versions were to be installed (one for each arch). The true bug is in what kept the gtk upgrade held back. OTOH what you suggest would make apt more error resilient. In any case it's an upstream request, not a packaging one ;) This is quite possibly another unwanted side-effect of the recent multilib hacks that were supposed to solve some things but seem to cause new problems instead, sigh. I'll have a look... Just a minor update - via yumex it was possible to update both gtk2 version at the same time - so some bug must be in the apt-get resolver which not allowed to update gtk2 32bit version probably (as Axel said...) (Even thought there are still plenty of packages which cannot be upgraded today) Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
