In the past, our SAs have typically installed a lot of 32-bit versions of
Oracle rpms on a 64-bit machine.  One of these is elfutils-libelf.i386.
Our procedures have changed and our SAs will now not install the 32-bit
version unless it is required.

The 32-bit version of this library isn't listed as a requirement in the
Oracle installation documentation.  However, there are a number of other
websites where people have posted instructions for installing the Oracle
software and they include this rpm as a requirement.

Anyone know why the 32-bit version would be listed as a requirement on these
other (typically reliable) sites, but not as a requirement by Oracle?

Do others typically install the 32-bit version of this library?
