I tried to install rpm-package on Fedora 20 with rpm -i, but

Why do package depends on 32-bit libraries? Was it always like
that? I never installed dmd on Fedora before.
Yes, it was always like that.
To be able to generate 32-bit binaries, and dmd-64 can do that,
these 32-bit packages are required.
More common practice is to declare such dependencies as optional
though.
