Re: chroot64 the chroot32
I had a similar problem - I solved it by using 64 bit wherever possible, and moved firefox to 64 bit using nspluginwrapper to do flash etc - java however is still a problem as there doesnt seem to be a java plugin for firefox in the 64 bit builds.

I don't get the whole chroot thing. I ran it for a short period of time as I use Skype for work purposes, but I keep a small number of 32-bit libraries installed in my user area to run it now, rather than install an entire chroot for one application. The underlying issue is that Debian's way of handling multiarch is a little flawed (imho, of course). It would be nice if dpkg could handle multiple binary architectures on platforms that support it, and end the necessity to keep a second system installed in a subdirectory somewhere. powerpc powerpc64 being the other system that would really appreciate the loving that proper multiarch support would bring. sparc sparc64 also, but I don't know what the state of Debian sparc is these days, or even if it's still being developed. Fedora handles biarch quite well, although rpm is fairly ugly. 64-bit libraries are installed into /lib64 and /usr/lib64, whilst 32-bit is kept in /lib and /usr/lib. Common files are an issue - if you install both 32 and 64-bit libraries, then common files in /usr/share are deleted if you remove one of the architectures, meaning you have to reinstall the remaining pakage to get those files back. We could learn and improve upon this arrangement. Give dpkg multiarch support, by tracking package contents for each installed architecture. -- rob andrews :: pgp 0x5c205974 :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is what Debian does as well, except that we have no problem with files being overwritten by other packages. :) The only catch is, the ia32 packages have to be made and maintained by a real human for the amd64 architecture. While this is certainly something that COULD (in theory) be added to apt and friends to allow direct installs of ia32 packages, it would undermine the entire rock-solid foundation of Debian (which is based, contrary to popular belief, not on a program like apt or dpkg, but on fantastic maintainers who pay a great deal of attention to detail). While this approach does mean that not all 32-bit-only programs are available for amd64, we do have packages for the most important offenders.
