/usr/lib/ia32-libs-tools/convert <amd64|ia64> libfoo_1.2-3_i386.deb > package and its dependencies, put it in a local repository. Then the user > could install ia32-libfoo with apt-get, aptitude, whatever. apt-get install ia32-archive It is probably slightly out of sync with ia32-apt-get because the libc6-i386 upload forced a bit of a rush job on the latest changes but if you look at it you get the idea. Once I have time to verrify ia32-archive still works right and have time to introduce an ia32-remote-archive dummy package I will probably change ia32-libs to Depends: ia32-apt-get | ia32-archive | ia32-remobe-archive. > Yannick > > PS: Of course, there would be a ia32-apt-update to update all the ia32-* > installed. ia32-archive already has a hook in /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/ that does that automatically on update.
