CARCH suffix for lib32 packages
why do the lib32 packages from community not have the CARCH suffix, ie the ...-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz?
for example:
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-*
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.pkg.tar.gz
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-libdrm-2.4.11-2.pkg.tar.gz
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-libxrandr-1.3.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-atk-1.26.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-libgcrypt-1.4.4-1.pkg.tar.gz
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-libxrender-0.9.4-2.pkg.tar.gz
...ps: i know, these packages are only available for the x86_64 architecture. but isn't it usual and common sense to add CARCH to the package?

Re: CARCH suffix for lib32 packages
For some reason the community database scripts were never updated to handle it. This will change soon when the community repo moves to using the same scripts as the core & extra repos.
