Well, please don't be angry of my questions. I know, it might be annoying. However, I tried to switch to multiarch, and of course, I understood things.
But I also have to admit, that it was not quite easy, to switch to. I learned, that there are still a lot of dependency problems, as multiarch is still on the way and new. And do not tell, there are none! However, I found meanmwhile a solution for me, but besides this, let me also explain, what things occur. 1. Adding i386 repo wanted to deinstall ia32-libs. Ok, I did and installed many 32-bit libs. Soi far so well. During the update it did googleearth and skype. Ok, I build a new googleearth package, but oh wonder, it needs ia32-libs-*. So I had to reinstall this package again. Yes, dependency problem! apt-get -f install reinstalled the needed libs again for googleearth. The same with the skxpe package (I installed the latest amd64-version) and needed several amd64-libs, too and - ia32-libs. But it was not over! I then wnated to install nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and BOTH, 64-bit and 32-bit version. I installed it with DKMS, you know the way. BUT, the libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 wants to deinstall libxvmc4 amd64-version (as far as I remember), and doing so, mplayer and some other applications, which depend on the amd64-version, are also going to deinstalled. So don't tell me, that there are no dependency problems. There are! Please notice: I understand, that multiarch work is still in process. I understand, things must not work perfectly at the moment! I understand, developers have not much time to fix things at once! I understand, developers, have a private life! And notice, everything, I pointed at, must NEVER be fixed at once. There must even not to be a solution at once! I understand and accept everything in debian. But I do not accept, to tell me, I do not understand things, when there ARE problems. I read the wiki, I understood the wiki, but when there are things not ok, no one should be blamed to tell it. As I said in my first message: Under no circumstances was it my intention, to mourne or make someone angry. I wanted to understand, what was not quite clear. To understand, to find a solution. I found it now! And here is now the point to say: Thank you very much for all, who helped! Thank you very much, indeed!
