I updated my Suse box 2 month ago from OpenSUSE 10.3 to 11.0. With the update, I switched from 32 to 64bit OS. Mot of the system worked well, but sometimes I find application which do not run.
The problem is a mixture of 32 and 64 bit libraries. For example I have eclipse 64bit, but it crashed when I tried to start it. The problem was that the underlying library (libswt) was 32 bit.
To change it, you can choose in yast on the package in the version tab which version you want to install.
After reinstalling libswt3 as 64 bit eclipse starts perfectly and runs without any problem.
I found a couple of other applications/libraries which were still 32bit. I manually switched to 64bit. But I didn't find a way to tell yast/zypper to install the 64bit version when available for all currently installed 32bit applications. Any idea/hint?
