Description of problem: Up to and including Fedora 11 both 64 and 32 bit versions of gtk2-engines were available in x86_64 repositories. It appears that currently 32-bit version was dropped. There are two issues with that. 1) Something may be using it. For example acroread from an external AdobeReader_enu-9.1.3-1.i486 package complains over and over like that: (acroread:2509): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", and installing gtk2-engines.i686 shuts that up even if AdobeReader_enu.i486 does not have a real dependency on this. Something else still may turn out to be upset in a more serious way. 2) Upgrading an older installation will run into issues as there will be no update path for a possibly installed 32-bit variant of that package. Admittedly both issues appear to be of a "cosmetic" nature, although the second one will require some post-upgrade attention. OTOH the dropped package does not look that big so maybe it would be worth to keep it? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk2-engines-2.18.2-5.fc12
Not a gtk2-engines problem. I have no idea why it would or would not be treated as multilib.
# gtk2-engines if fnmatch(dirname, '/usr/lib*/gtk-2.0/*/engines'): return True I'm not seeing an obvious reason why that would stop working.
> I'm not seeing an obvious reason why that would stop working. Hm, maybe it did not stop. Looking at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/x86_64/os/Packages I see at this moment gtk2-engines-2.18.2-5.fc12.x86_64.rpm and gtk2-engines-2.18.2-5.fc12.i686.rpm. OTOH when I tried two days ago 'yum install gtk2-engines.i686' I got "No match" (or something of that sort) in a response. I did install that package after fetching it from koji. I will try again with yum and will see what that will bring.
I tried again 'yum install gtk2-engines.i686' and this time this worked (mirrors.cat.pdx.edu was picked up by yum). So apparently this was a knot in repos.
