They are not duplicates. How does PK know if you want > the 32bit or the 64bit version of a package? The argument is that an user who doesn't know the difference between 64bit and 32bit will be confused and 99.9% of the time will just want 64bit packages unless someone tells them to get a 32bit one (or there's no 64bit package available). People like me who need 32bit packages for certain compatibilities already know how to get them manually. > > > I don't have anything called: "Authorizations" in the > > System->Administration menu. > > my mistake System->Preference->System->Authorizations > > > I don't want nor need that kind of power.

The argument could be made that any time a key is being imported, authorization had to have been given to install packages in the first place, probably a few seconds ago. > > -jef > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -Dan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
