Hello,

There is a know problem with apt for rpm:
yum can manage  i386 and x86_64 rpms on a single system ; it's the
case with the current apt version?


The problem:
For the <pub> next Gralinux* </pub> will have 3 branchs::

i386 embedded systems, for flash memory based devices, running on Via
cpu (Epia etc..)
i686 : 32/64 bits systems
x86_64: Athlon 64, Intel emt


The problem is to know if apt can install x86_64rpms  on a i686 system
(of course the CPU is 64 ready :)
or install i686/i363 on x86_64 without problems.


Thanks  :)

jean-sebastien.
