Backend is moving in the direction of multi-arch packages. This is an attempt to bridge the gap until that happens. > > Should I purge ia32-* and reinstall libc-i386 or wait? I installed ia32-apt-get and got my wine back after $> ia32-apt-get update $> ia32-apt-get install ia32-wine and to fix a warning about internet access $> ia32-apt-get install ia32-libnss-mdns The applications I installed via wine before the hickup works just like before.

That's the way I understood it too, unless synaptic implements support for ia32-apt-get flow. It is anyway supposed to be a bridge towards a better world, but it seems that the developers are not agreeing on how to do it. The implementer seems to be a little bit alone against the rest of the arguing world on debian-devel and everything seems to be a little bit uncertain at the moment. I got my wine back, and for the time being I am only using 32-bit windows applications from wine. -- Svenn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
