In that case I don't think dropping some dependencies on ia32-libs in advance (by making src:n-g-d's *-ia32 transitional) will cause much harm in wheezy - the *-ia32 packages anyway would need to be updated (into transitionals) once the monolithic ia32-libs is gone - on the contrary, it will reduce the upgrade paths involving ia32-libs because the old one might be just removed if it's no longer needed. (lib32vdpau1 is one of the packages that can be removed afterwards) Andreas PS: once ia32-libs-i386:i386 became installable in sid/amd64 (at least for a short time without binNMU conflicts) I tried rebuilding nvidia-graphics-drivers 302.17-3 (amd64) - which did not fail, but produced for the *-ia32 packages useless dependencies on some [:native] libraries instead of :i386 library packages, so there is no way to resurrect the *-ia32 packages as non-transitional - they will be unbuildable (or unusable). PPS: the decision regarding nvidia-graphics-drivers will also influence how I'm going to prepare an upgrade for nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-173xx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
