Description of problem: I cannot install both i586 and x86_64 versions of nss_mdns. I am running x86_64 and CrossOver requires the 32bit version of libnss_mdns.so.2 for network access. I request that you separate nss_mdns i586 and x86_64 into library packages so that both i586 and x86_64 can be installed at the same time. This is what I tried when Crossover said it requires the 32bit libnss_mdns.so.2 library to function properly: $ urpmf lib/libnss_mdns.so.2 nss_mdns:/lib/libnss_mdns.so.2 # urpmi nss_mdns Package nss_mdns-0.10-10.mga3.x86_64 is already installed # rpm -q --filesbypkg nss_mdns nss_mdns /etc/mdns.allow nss_mdns /lib64/libnss_mdns.so.2 nss_mdns /lib64/libnss_mdns4.so.2 nss_mdns /lib64/libnss_mdns4_minimal.so.2 nss_mdns /lib64/libnss_mdns6.so.2 nss_mdns /lib64/libnss_mdns6_minimal.so.2 nss_mdns /lib64/libnss_mdns_minimal.so.2 nss_mdns /usr/share/doc/nss_mdns nss_mdns /usr/share/doc/nss_mdns/README nss_mdns /usr/share/doc/nss_mdns/README.html nss_mdns /usr/share/doc/nss_mdns/style.css urpmi will just not do anything if trying to specify that I want the i586 version: # urpmi nss_mdns-0.10-10.mga3.i586 # How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Require 32bit nss_mdns on a 64bit system for any reason 2. Try to install it 3. It will not install Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

urpmi --media "Core 32bit Release" nss_mdns
(In reply to claire robinson from comment #1) > urpmi --media "Core 32bit Release" nss_mdns That seems to do the exact same thing as "urpmi nss_mdns-0.10-10.mga3.i586", which is to say and do absolutely nothing at all.
This issue has been around for a long time. I went through it during the entire lifecycle of Mageia 2. My workaround is to just install it via rpm directly. wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/mageia/distrib/3/i586/media/core/release/nss_mdns-0.10-10.mga3.i586.rpm rpm -ihv nss_mdns-0.10-10.mga3.i586.rpm And I'm up and running. CrossOver no longer complains. This is essential for me since I'm a CrossOver advocate.

Fixed in Mageia 4.
