I have tested installing the package 'arb' from the repository and was
able to run 'arb' which opened a motif window.  Although not being
familiar with the application, I didn't test any further.

I was also able to build arb 5.3-4ubuntu1 from source.


** Description changed:

- [FFe] Please consider the patch attached to comment #3 for a Feature
+ [FFe] Please consider the patch attached to comment #7 for a Feature
  Freeze exception.
  
  [IMPACT]
  Libmotif4 is required by some commercial applications;  Xilinx FPGA Editor 
12.1,  Fluent Inc. Gambit 2.4.6, ANSYS 13 (display and lsprepost), Citrix 
Receiver client, etc.
  Not all software is available for both architectures, so in some cases 
installing libmotif for amd64 and i386 side-by-side is required.
  
  [Test Cases]
  The archive attached to comment #4 contains executables Xmtest-libmotif4-i386 
and Xmtest-libmotif4-amd64.
  
  Install packages libmotif4 and libmotif4:i386 and verify that both
  Xmtest-libmotif4-i386 and Xmtest-libmotif4-amd64 execute.
  
  [Regression Potential]
- Minimal: this change applies to the building of a library.  Libmotif4 has no 
dependents within Ubuntu that need a test-rebuild.
+ Minimal: this change applies to the building of a library.  Libmotif4 has 
only one reverse-dependency, arb, that needs a test-rebuild.
