Yeah, but there's many more packages that haven't been ported to 32-bit:
chdist create stretch-amd64
chdist create stretch-i386
$EDITOR ~/.chdist/stretch-{amd64,i386}/etc/apt/sources.list
chdist update stretch-amd64
chdist update stretch-i386
chdist compare-bin-packages stretch-amd64 stretch-i386|grep ' UNAVAIL .'|wc -l
139
chdist compare-bin-packages stretch-amd64 stretch-i386|grep ' UNAVAIL $'|wc -l
383
Alas, there's plenty of packages producing some compat binaries on one of
the archs. Thus, let's see what sources produce at least one binary,
something that chdist can't provide without some extra code:
grep-dctrl . -nsSource:Package
~/.chdist/stretch-amd64/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages|
cut -d' ' -f1|sort|uniq >amd64
grep-dctrl . -nsSource:Package
~/.chdist/stretch-i386/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages|
cut -d' ' -f1|sort|uniq >i386
diff -u99999 amd64 i386 |grep ^+|wc -l
23
diff -u99999 amd64 i386 |grep ^-|wc -l
86
i386 only:
atitvout dgen digitools fdflush fenix-plugins gatos gmod
google-android-build-tools-installer longrun lphdisk mig nyquist
pcsx2 pforth pixbros s3switch smlsharp spellcast steamcmd
