Hmm, I would have expected some of the python/perl parts to fail since with
a 64bit system you can only get one version. So if anything for example
uses swig it will fail.
Strange I see swig (not the SL/RHEL version!!) is installed since lcg-CE_torque
requires it but it's not required by any "real" rpm so nothing is using it.
Are we now in the habit of breaking SL binary compatibilty just for the sake
of it?
