Good old multilib ... In this case it does look like a genuine problem. libguestfs- supermin-helper is really a libexec type of file. However it has to exist on $PATH so that libguestfs can be run without being installed. Unfortunately the file contains @host_cpu@ so it's not identical on both architectures, which breaks multilib. Please open a bug. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
