Package: libc6-i386
Version: 2.9-17
Severity: grave

Hi,

you actually managed to completly screw the pooch with the /usr/lib32
transition from link to directory and now on existing installations it
remains a link. Now /emul/ia32-linux/[usr/]lib contains files that
belong there and files belonging in /[usr/]lib32 making it hard to
undo the link.

So now you need something like this in postinst:

if [ "$(readlink /lib32)" = "/emul/ia32-linux/lib" ]; then
  rm /lib32
  mv /emul/ia32-linux/lib /lib32
  ln -s /lib32 /emul/ia32-linux/lib
fi

if [ "$(readlink /usr/lib32)" = "/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib" ]; then
  rm /usr/lib32
  mv /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib /usr/lib32
  ln -s /usr/lib32 /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib
fi

And what fun if a filesystem gets full doing that.

PS: Why wasn't this prepared in experimental?
