Dag,
Thanks for the enlightenment on the reasoning. Only noticed the problem
when trying to install packages that are i386-only on x86_64. It would
be nice if the i386-only packages showed up in the x86_64 repo; however,
that sounds likely to be an extra manual load on you, unless some bright
person can suggest a way to automate the process.
Regards,
Phil
