> To make installation of 32 bits software in ubuntu 64 bits (zsnes, etc
...) easier, gdebi have to work with 32 bits packages.

Ubuntu 13.04 ships with gdebi 0.9 which has multiarch support. Sure it's
still a bit buggy (*) but it's somewhat usable. So shouldn't this bug be
closed?


(*) Here are the gdebi multiarch bugs I know of:

- gdebi-gtk/kde crashes if the package is already installed for another 
architecture

- gdebi-core: gdebi mishandles the ':any' dependencies
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717859

- gdebi-core: gdebi mishandles the architecture-specific dependency qualifiers
