I have a Debian testing amd64 laptop. Only testing, no unstable or
experimental. I need to install ia32-libs to run eclipse in 32 bit mode for
android development.
However, I get a slew of conflicts, and it seems that aptitude wants to
replace a lot of my 64 bit aps with 32 bit apps. Apps like gno
to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
# aptitude install ia32-libs
Aptitude still wants to replace gnome etc with i386 packages.
What am I missing?
