Yeah, I saw that, when I looked for a solution in your packages ;-)

Yes. There are currently 3 bz2 packages in openSUSE_10.3 x86_64:

Both libraries for 64bit:
  libbz2-1-1.0.4-42.x86_64.rpm
  libbz2-devel-1.0.4-42.x86_64.rpm

The 32-bit runtime libraries:
  libbz2-1-32bit-1.0.4-42.x86_64.rpm

The 32-bit devel library is missing.

No, but I'm not sure whether it is possible to build only the 
bz2-32bit-devel without the bz2-32bit.

I don't want to create a replacement for the whole bz2-32bit package.

No. I'm going to ask on the buildservice mailing list.
