Are you sure that it can (now and in the future), for *all* versions of the libs? > I suggest this solution: Packages should be built in that way, that they can > use either ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk or the libs from multiarch:i386. If I understand correctly, one of the goals of multiarch is to replace packages like ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk, i.e. these packages will disappear in the future. So, the only correct solution is to depend on i386 packages. > If that is working, then step by step ia32-libs may be made thinned > out from double libs, until ia32-libs are no more necessary at all. > At that point the package ia32-libs can be deleted. I think that this won't work due to possibly different library versions in ia32-libs and in i386, or you may get obscure crashes. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
