Description Peter Åstrand cendio 2012-05-16 12:19:36 CEST 
Currently, tl-setup assumes that the TL arch is the same as the system arch. However, this is not correct if you have installed the 32-bit TL server on a 64-bit system, for some reason. This causes various failures. For example, the glib test runs ldd on libpcsclite, and the output is:

	not a dynamic executable

But this is not catched by the test; it assumes that everything is fine since it doesn't find any "not found" lines. 

A similar problem exists with LSB. tl-setup does not check/install 32-bit LSB on a 64-bit system.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2012-05-22 10:20:18 CEST 
One "solution" to this is that we require the system arch to match the ThinLinc arch. IOW, 32-bit ThinLinc on 64-bit Linux is unsupported.
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman cendio 2021-11-12 10:53:47 CET 
We're dropping 32-bit support in bug 5308, so this theoretical problem will disappear.
