incorrectly interprets that as the opposite.

In fact the [Debian package page for 
Geany](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=geany) I linked above shows 
Debian testing and unstable (ie the bleeding edge of Debian) both have have an 
i386 architecture package for Geany 1.38.

So at least on Debian it seems that Geany builds on a 32 bit architecture and 
32 bit versions of the relevant libraries are available, but that is on 
versions of Debian newer than Buster.  

Again I will repeat __Debian__ decides what level of support it gives different 
existing versions, not Geany.  And Debian has decided that Buster is only 
getting security upgrades and bugfixes (until July 2024), not newer versions of 
software.  Hence my suggestion to upgrade, I never said to 64 bit.

So it appears there is nothing actionable for Geany, hence this issue is closed.
