Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ia32-libs

$ uname -a
Linux mblakele-lt 2.6.22-10-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 22 07:42:05 GMT 2007 x86_64 
GNU/Linux
$ apt-show-versions | grep ia32
ia32-libs-kde/gutsy uptodate 12
ia32-libs/gutsy uptodate 2.1ubuntu1

I use the 32-bit mozilla.org build of thunderbird 2.0 on an x86-64 gutsy
install. Today, after running dist-upgrade, I found that thunderbird
would no longer launch:

$ ~/opt/thunderbird-2/thunderbird
/etc/init.d/xprint: 534: Syntax error: Bad substitution
/home/mblakele/opt/thunderbird-2/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared 
libraries: libXcomposite.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

Ignoring the xprint error for the moment, it looks like thunderbird
can't find libXcomposite.so.1. I have a 64-bit version of that library:

$ dlocate libXcomposite.so | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 2007-07-25 08:03 /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so -> 
libXcomposite.so.1.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 2007-07-25 08:03 /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1 -> 
libXcomposite.so.1.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9672 2007-07-25 02:59 /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1.0.0

...but I can't find a 32-bit version. I suspect that it has been dropped
from a recently-updated package, probably ia32-libs.
