In summary; after Mesa/Mesa-drivers split, the Mesa package no longer contains any binaries, only /etc/drirc and documentation. Because of that, the Mesa-32bit does not get generated. But we need it to exist because the 32bit OpenGL libraries require it and all the Mesa-dri and Mesa-gallium packages supplement it. So we needed to put some file in it.

Putting /etc/drirc in both Mesa and Mesa-32bit looked like natural choice. It has to be installed whether you have the 32 bit or 64 bit or both kind of packages installed. Having it in both works. I tested it, no conflicts, installation and uninstallation of both packages in any order works as expected.

Sadly repo-checker uses different logic to test for conflicts, so we must place some dummy file in Mesa-32bit.

FYI: repo-checker uses /usr/bin/installcheck (from libsolv-tools) - which is the one complaining about the conflict.

Probably the same as: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1075901

Bug is in llvm, manifests itself since Mesa 17.3.2.
