Sorry, I don't have time right now to look at it. But did you consider marcus' several years old arch-handling proposal[1]? Also, please note that at least half of the dpkg-maintainers don't read -devel, you probably want to post this to -dpkg. Incidently, there is a proposal and patch by Gerhard Tonn for handling lib64 under discussion[2]. cheers, Michael -- [1] http://master.debian.org/~brinkmd/arch-handling.txt [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2003/debian-dpkg-200306/msg00032.html
