Some 3rd party apps, such as Lotus Sametime, use xterm to display messages. [Test Case] Build and install i386 packages on amd64 and attempt to depend on xterm. [Regression Potential] Minimal as this packaging change only means that pulling in the 64-bit xterm can satisfy the dependency of a 32-bit application. Can we make this change for precise?
