There's definitely something strange going on here, and I'm wondering
how many dependencies are affected.  Furthermore, is this just a package
naming problem, or is there something a little more strange going on?

I'm running a fresh 64-bit installation of oneiric.  I have libc6-i386
installed, which seems by the previous post as though it actually
contains the amd64 version of the package.  But, for me it puts a link
called libc.so.6 into /lib32, and puts nothing in /lib64.  When I tried
to install a program which needed libc.so.6 (in my case, Matlab), it
looked for it in /lib64.  (I took the easy way out and just made a
symlink in /lib64, seems to work for now.)

Also, when I try to install libc6-amd64, I get either some cryptic error
messages saying that I need libraries in the versions which I have or
else I get a "no candidate package to be installed" message.
