Currently I haven't found any other solution working and tested solution, but I am working on a better one. > ia32-libs is a collection of 32-bit libraries which need a 32-bit libc6 > to work but the 32-bit libc6 works without having the additional > libraries from ia32-libs installed.

The problem is that the modifications needed in /etc/ld.so.conf are currently done in ia32-libs, and the symlink in /usr/lib32 is also provided by ia32-libs. The solution is probably to move both the symlink and the code of the preinst/postinst ia32-libs scripts into the glibc, but I don't really like that, especially for the ld.so.conf part. Also I have to make sure the upgrade will work correctly with such a situation, and also take into accound that lib32gcc1 could also create the /usr/lib32 by itself. > In my opinion, one of the most important reasons to introduce the > libc6-i386 package is that it will allow the gcc-4.x packages to drop > the Build-Depends on the ia32-libs binary package collection from i386. This is also the first step to get rid (at least partly) of ia32-libs on amd64. Anyway this is already an improvement as with the current solution the gcc-4.x packages does not build-depends anymore on ia32-libs-dev. > The amd64 toolchain should not depend on packages from the i386 port. Agreed. This is already the case with the current solution, even if it still build-depends on it. Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
