i386 popt static library in x86-64

[Ioannis Nousias]

Hi,

The popt-static.i386 is missing from the x86-64 repositories and it 
seems I can't install it from the i386 ones, since it now conflicts with 
the x86-64 (I could before, but now something has changed). I need both 
the popt-static.x86_64 and the popt-static.i386 in my system. Any 
suggestions ?

regards
-Ioannis

Yes, forgot to mention I'm using F8. Thanks. Installing this  
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/popt/1.13/1.fc8/i386/popt-static-1.13...

worked.

Ok, it seems 1.13-1 was pushed to F8 updates, and it is present on this mirror:
http://mirror.lib.ucdavis.edu/fedora/linux/updates/8/i386/

and the x86_64 version is as well, but you're right there is no i386 popt-static 
here, although there are i386 versions for the other popt packages.
http://mirror.lib.ucdavis.edu/fedora/linux/updates/8/x86_64/

I wonder if that failed to build and didn't get caught or was that intentional 
for the general user?

although my experience might not be sufficient 'verification', the above 
package works well here. For all I know, there is no reason why this 
package shouldn't be included in the x86-64 repo, especially since the 
rest i386 popt package are (as you mentioned).

Criteria is -devel and runtime packages and their deps. -static would
rarely fit into this category.
