This list is dead AFAIK. I certainly haven't read it in many years, and we've been trying to delete it (without success, it seems). > hm, Richard (rwmjones) is usually very responsive ... > > I think the solution for the i686 ocaml devel files is to update the > multilib policy in mash to exclude ocaml-* completely As Dan says, multilib is inappropriate for OCaml. There's never any reason why you would want to use 32 bit OCaml packages if you have a 64 bit machine. So simply blocking i686 on x86-64 is the way to go. There is even a bug about it, but I cannot find it in BZ right now.
