No, it is not outdated, as I did an "apt-file update" beforfe I checked. IMO this should do it, doesn't it?

Those packages are no more available! The last versions of ia32-apt-get added a "Provides: ai32-abi" to all converted packages. If you had a new enough ia32-apt-get installed then you can easily grep for that Provides in dpkgs status file. Saddly ia32-libs fails to conflict with ia32-abi and instead conflicts with a selection of individual packages (only those in ia32-libs). But you could build a dummy deb with equivs that conflicts ia32-abi, install that and remove it again. Or remove libc6-i386 and then reinstall whatever 32bit stuff you use. > There is another thing, which I discovered: apt-file is showing still > /emul/ia32-linux entries, although the packages are no more installed to > /emul > .
