please check my packages on the debian http://introspector.sourceforge.net/debian/incoming/
All of the ming32 packages have ming in the name, For example : http://introspector.sourceforge.net/debian/incoming/libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb I have created them under the Debian gnu/linux system $ dpkg -i libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb dpkg: error processing libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (cygwin-i386) Errors were encountered while processing: libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb Ok, so forcing will produce these errors : $ dpkg --force-all -i libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: package architecture (i386) does not match system (cygwin-i386) Selecting previously deselected package libiconv-mingw1.
