For example on a 64 bit system is there any reason that you would install and run both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions side by side? Or would the 64 bit daemon normally be handling all requests? If so then my understanding is the reporter is saying that it makes more sense to install to a non-multiarch path such as /usr/lib/fwupd/ instead of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fwupd. Laurent, Is this correct? Thanks,
