It doesn't install as-is because of a pre-dep on libc6-i386 (which isn't available for ia64). But, after removing that pre-dep, things seem to work (see below). da...@krebs:/tmp$ /usr/bin/libia32x.so /tmp/i386/usr/bin/hello Hello, world! da...@krebs:/tmp$ /usr/bin/libia32x.so /tmp/i386/bin/dash $ dpkg dpkg: need an action option Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*].
