You could probably backport it yourself if you have the time, or remember to configure everything to install in /usr/local to save your future upgrade path. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

kde4
Anyone running KDE4? Any AMD64 issues? Can it be loaded running lenny? Is it stable enough to use now? I want to load it up on a working system - don't want to make a mess of it if it is too soon - a couple of bugs here and there would be OK - as long as it is currently usable. Is there any thing special to do to migrate from kde3 - to kde4? Karl Schmidt EMail k...@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.

Just install ia32-libs and build googleearth again. You will also need nvidia-glx-ia32. Good luck!

googleearth
Weird enough, i was able to reanimate googleearth by installing nvidia-glx-ia32, additional to nvidia-glx (in a debian legacy setup). The window started up before but didn't draw the actual graphics, just a blank screen. Sad thing is that since few month, GE 4.2 doesn't run anymore, which had the one-mouse-'copter' navigation mode (Ctrl-G), the most genial thing on earth (since the linux kernel), and which they removed soon afterwards. 4.2. seems to miss libbase.so. and i guess it's just no more compatible, finally. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Updating system with ia32-apt-get
I can see that ia32-apt is a valid concept, and perhaps the first step toward real multiarch. But left aside that i'm deliberately running Sid and used to screw the system since many years, let me speak on behalf of a desktop user. Then i just would expect more integration, namely: A converter (script) that installs all ia32 libs in use (depending on the packages installed) automaticly and cares for the incompatibility somehow (for example by setting up global aliases ?), so that even synaptics would be fine. The 'upgrade' is smooth when users aren't urged to figure out how they can get what they had before, again. It also should offer a way to turn back safely without manual re-configuration. That's what i would expect from a 'package management'. For example, the upgrade to grub2 is a good demonstration. As you can see I'm not talking about the library packages in the first place. I believe todays' user i won't care too much if there are 50 M more or less installed. Now when we're talking about a 'clean system' then tell me that a system with two incompatible administration tools is clean! And future major changes in 'legacy' apt would probably mean another manual workload (as always with apps outside mainstream), including the time needed just to figure what's up. That said, it's clear that Goswins packages are a step in the right direction. I actually wonder, Goswin, didn't you consider to engage in the apt upstream directly to work on multiarch ? Maybe they'd appreciate your help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
