Then I think the right fix would be to attempt a download of x86_64-pc-linux-gnu binary, and if that fails fallback to i386-pc-linux-gnu. In that situation libc6-i386 wouldn't be needed in Depends (maybe Recommends instead). -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
