AFAIR "should" isn't RC, though some might not want to release an "obvious mess". I hope the release team notices this is the only official solution currently available. ia32-libs maintainers: Please don't regard this message as an attack. You're doing a good job. I can't take advantage of it, but it's a good job nevertheless. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

severity 484599 important tags 484599 wontfix thanks Hi! May I ask you for the motivation to open this bug?

There are only 2 ways of dealing with this: - fix multiarch blockers (binutils) and finish the implementation (not for lenny anymore, sorry) - implement biarch like RedHat and SuSE did, putting all 64bit libs to /lib64 and 32bit libs to /lib, and patching dpkg et all to cope with this, allowing amd64 to install both amd64 and i386 packages (no way, sorry - 4 years too late for this) But opening RC bugs pointing to the obvious mess doesn't help neither our users nor my blood pressure.

Bug#484599: ia32-libs contains several sources and break policy 4.13
Package: ia32-libs Version: 2.5 Severity: serious Hi, ia32-libs contains several sources of software that are already packaged and available from the Debian archive. This is a clear breakage of point 2.13 of the Debian policy 3.8.0.0: « Debian packages should not make use of these convenience copies unless the included package is explicitly intended to be used in this way. » None of the software contained into ia32-libs are intended to be packaged this way.
