Ok, then the current situation doesn't make much sense to me since it
still requires some "manual work", i.e. either :
- Install that firefox-32 package
(and/or)
- Remove the x86_64 firefox package
Good point.
Anyway, in the end my vote would be to change yum's behaviour
from
"install all available archs of the latest version" to "install best
available arch of the latest version" when no arch is specified, and
not have anaconda install any compat 32bit packages by default.
Plus we can add in the firefox-32 package if need be, if there's not
something I'm missing about the dep change that makes it also pull in the
32-bit package.
