I just hit lsb-core version 2.0-1 which causes me problems. I have not updated for a while. Testing using the latest debian-pure64.
* Depend on ia32-libs on amd64. (Closes: #259976) But I am not using ia32-libs. I am using an ia32 chroot. But now I am required to use ia32-libs if I want the lsb package. This breaks my ability to use a chroot to maintain the ia32 binaries. What was working is now broken. A second very annoying property is that this is a silent data corruption. An upgrade to the lsb package pulls in ia32-libs and this is installed on top of the existing chroot area, corrupting it. I see the reasoning behind someone wanting the ia32-libs package installed. But it is completely wrong in the chroot case. (A good argument for multiarch. But that is another discussion.) Of course I will now create a local no-ia32-libs package that conflicts with ia32-libs and will install and hold that package. That will prevent future accidental breakage. I am somewhat at a loss as to how to address this problem. Suggestions? Bob
