Bug filing advice needed: package uninstallable on amd64 only

Abiword is uninstallable on AMD64. It appears that the library package libenchant1c2 has been replaced by the package libenchant1c2a. This new package is available for AMD64; but the AMD64 Abiword port, and *only* the AMD64 port of Abiword, still has a dependency on the older libenchat1c2, which

DMA missing after install -- rebuild initrd? HOWTO?

How big will the 32-bit chroot end up being? What goes in these days?

So, as I understand it, the following stuff would need to go into the 32-bit chroot (assuming one wants/needs these things): - Sun's J2RE - OpenOffice - Flash - RealPlayer/Helix/whatever - win32codecs + other misc A/V codecs one might scrounge up elsewhere - Any web browser that you want to
