You have to manually tell dpkg that it can use specific

However this takes a bit of configuration to get working so
this might have to be left to the user and not placed into the

Eh, damn, it looks like I may need to put together a Debian 7
persistent
live disc/usb because I can't seem to get the necessary
versions of
dpkg/apt in Deb 6, even in backports.
But...don't linux bins tend to not work on systems (ie, glibc)
older than the one used to compile? If that's the case then
maybe I
should make the 32- and 64-bit passes separable so a multilib
system
isn't required (which appears to mandate very new versions of
linux,
at least for debian anyway).
What kind of linux system is currently being used to generate
the linux
releases?
I think in the case of Debian based systems that having one for
32bit and 64bit might work. However don't quote me on that.
I took a look at Ubuntu's support and its very similar to
Debian's.
"In Debian dpkg this is present since 1.16.2. In Ubuntu this is
present since natty (v1.15.8.10ubuntu1)."
That may be of some use to you. Thats for multiarch support.
I can't really help much more than this I'm afraid.
