[wpkg-users] Architecture attribute in check element

[Frank Fesevur]

Hi,

I'm in the process of implementing WPKG on our system and run into a
strange issue. Here is the relevant part of the package xml file:

<variable name="version" value="9.22" />
<check architecture="x86" type='uninstall' condition='exists'
path='7-Zip %version%' />
<check architecture="x64" type='uninstall' condition='exists'
path='7-Zip %version% (x64 edition)' />

I have version WPKG 1.2 installed, so I expect that the architecture
attribute is working for check elements in the xml, but apparently is
does not:

2011-09-13 12:31:40, DEBUG   : Variable version = 9.22
2011-09-13 12:31:40, DEBUG   : Uninstall entry '7-Zip 9.22' matches
string '7-Zip 9.22'.
2011-09-13 12:31:40, DEBUG   : Uninstall entry for 7-Zip %version% was
found: test successful
2011-09-13 12:31:41, DEBUG   : Uninstall entry for 7-Zip %version%
(x64 edition) missing: test failed

After searching the wiki I found
http://wpkg.org/Extended_host_attribute_matching and it turns out that
this behavior is by design. Is there a reason that the architecture
attribute does not work on the check element?

I've rebuilt the check to an OR to make it work, but it still seems
strange to me that the original solution didn't work.

Regards,
Frank
