Junior Mitglied Posts: 26 Registered: 2008-06-15 | Hello
I currently installed paldo testing x86_64 from CD, and I have this problem now: upkg-build and upkg-install say that all the software from the repos is installed, although it is not. Any idea how to fix this?
EDIT: not all, actually. it happened for skype and wine, but not with amule and firefox... |

If you really need skype and other 32bit only programs I advise you to install paldo 32 bit instead .............................. OSs: Paldo-testing x86_64 :: HP Pavilion dv9680ez |

Junior Mitglied Posts: 26 Registered: 2008-06-15 | oh, thanks. I didn't think of that side of things...the way it happened to some apps made me think it's a bug... does that mean that wine doesn't wrk on x86_64?! |

Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | well dichev... wine works only on 32 bit to emulate 32 bit programs of windows so we have to keep waiting for wine and skype to get ahead with their code...
other program is the flash but swfdec-mozilla is working fine for me for example .............................. OSs: Paldo-testing x86_64 :: HP Pavilion dv9680ez |
