Package: ia32-apt-get Version: 20 Severity: normal In a pbuilder amd64 chroot, after installing ia32-apt-get and doing an apt-get update (unsetting DEBIAN_FRONTEND so that I could choose the "All" option in the debconf prompt):

So having a 32-bit version of type-handling available to install seems to defeat the whole purpose of the type-handling package. -- Daniel Schepler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
