I've looked at the source code of nvidia-graphics-drivers.
At around line 300 of debian/rules there is this code:
# ld.so.conf
dh_installdirs -p$(PKG_driver) "$(ld_so_conf_dir)"
echo "$(PKG_libdir)" >
"$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(ld_so_conf_path)"
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),amd64)
echo "$(PKG_libdir32)" >>
$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(ld_so_conf_path)
endif
# empty ld.so.conf for the fake multi-arch alternative
$(shell touch "$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(alt_ld_so_conf_path)")
The "touch" in the last line is probably why the alt_ld.so.conf file exists but
is empty.
But why make it empty?
Changing these lines to:
# ld.so.conf
dh_installdirs -p$(PKG_driver) "$(ld_so_conf_dir)"
echo "$(PKG_libdir)" >
"$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(ld_so_conf_path)"
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),amd64)
# echo "$(PKG_libdir32)" >>
$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(ld_so_conf_path)
echo "$(PKG_libdir32)" >
"$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(alt_ld_so_conf_path)"
# echo "$(PKG_libdir)" >>
"$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(alt_ld_so_conf_path)"
endif
would probably fix this bug. (I've commented 2 of the lines in the "if" block
because I don't know if they are really necessary)
At least, after compiling the package with "debuild", the alt_ld.so.conf file
inside isn't empty.
Also, in line 122 of file debian/nvidia-current.postinst.in:
# Deal with multi-arch ugliness until dpkg supports multi-arch:
Doesn't Debian (and dpkg) support multi-arch now?
This bug should have a high importance, as it prevents 32 bits programs (Skype,
Steam, etc.) from working in 64 bit systems (at least those using the NVIDIA
drivers).
Sure, there are workarounds, but average users aren't expected to find and
apply them.
