Can the DEBIAN and SPECS subdirectories be unified? How about BIGJUJU?

Specifying ia32-libs in control when on a 64 bit Debian/Ubuntu?

2009-06-22 Thread Ignacio Valdes
Hi all, I have a deb package that requires ia32-libs to run on a 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu, otherwise it works without it on i386. I have tried in the control file: Depends: ia32-libs [amd64] But that doesn't seem valid. How does one specify ia32-libs should be a dependency when on 64 bit? Thanks!
