[opensuse] I can't eradicate those **** 32bit packages from my openSuse 11



As for $Subject: it's simply not possible to eradicate all 32-bit
packages from my x86_64 installation because of dependencies
on glibc-32bit, due to flash and realplayer.
Please guys, can you please refrain from adding those artificial
dependencies? Not everybody want to have RealPlayer and Flash
installed, just like me that avoid them like the plague.

I wonder how much space, bandwidth and time would be saved
by just moving that 32bit stuff to a separate repository.

It's sad to see so much useless baggage still carried along
like a ball at the foot
