This is a list of packages found in the i686 community repository but not in the x86_64 repository. This list is based on the automatically generated pkg diff page. Note there are 60 lib32 packages in community so this provides a lower limit to the number of differences between the two architecutes.

[edit] Misc Differences

[edit] Major version differences

These packages have two entries in the pkg diff list, one for being missing from i686 and one for x86_64. This appears to be from a bug in the pkg diff script when there are major version difference between the packages in the two repositories.

• gnome/sensors-applet x86_64 build fails - PIC error (2.2.1-2)
• games/nexuiz
• games/sauerbraten

[edit] Build failures

The latest version of these packages fail to build on x86_64. Mostly seem easy to patch/fix...

• system/tuxcmd binary blob (0.6.36-1)
