Re: [arch-multilib] gcc-libs-multilib should not replace gcc-libs

Hi all,

I just noticed that gcc-libs-multilib replaces and provides gcc-libs. I would prefer if this package would just provide those files in /usr/lib32 and not replace a core package.

There is no replaces tag.

The disadvantages of the current package are that systems might break if gcc in core/testing is newer and its more difficult to remove the multilib packages. I see that this is a bigger problem for gcc itself; but this wont be installed by the average user anyway and only in the build chroot.

Looks difficult and inconsistent to me. We might consider it though.
