Stephen, yes, the purpose of ia32-libs is to provide a collection of
32-bit libraries in /lib32 for use on an x86-64 system (which has 64-bit
libraries in /lib).  The bug is that the new version of
/usr/lib32/libSM.so.6 in ia32-libs 2.7ubuntu1 introduces a new
dependency on libuuid.so.1, but no 32-bit copy of libuuid.so.1 is
provided.  (If it were, it would be in /lib32/libuuid.so.1; the 64-bit
/lib/libuuid.so.1 does not help.)  This means that the new ia32-libs
breaks any 32-bit application that depends on libSM.so.6, such as Flash
and Wine.
