It is not dangerous.
So just for clarity, once I have installed ia32-apt-get, I should only
use ia32-apt-get and not apt-get. I presume ia32-apt-get installs its
self such that if I use aptitude, aptitude calls ia32-apt-get ?
No. There was a version recently that attempted to install such
diversions, but it was withdrawn... though Goswin may retry soon.
You need to use 'ia32-apt-get' or 'ia32-aptitude' for ordinary package
maintenance, and 'ia32-dpkg', 'ia32-dpkg-deb', and 'ia32-apt-cache' for
other package issues.
HTH,
