We considered that one, but the mechanism we actually implemented is to add an extra item to each Shlibs field, which is either "32", "64" or "32-64", to distinguish among the types of libraries. If the item is absent, its value defaults to 32. This is recognized by the validator in fink-0.26.0, and documented in the packaging manual. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
