Have you tried running a 32-bit app that was installed via apt/dpkg ?
If not, I'd recommend installing a simple 32-bit app. Two things that may

There's two approaches I would consider here:
If you know exactly which packages you want downloaded, I think you can use
"apt-get download" to just download the packages you tell it to, and it will

I've been using Unison (https://packages.debian.org/buster/unison-gtk --
there's also a commandline package) for quite a few years (a decade?) now. It
works well.

I was recently given a Mac Mini (Intel Mid 2007) that had been wiped.
I tried to install Debian (Wheezy) on it, and the installer reported success,
but
when it came time to eject and reboot, Debian didn't boot from the hard drive.

Ah! Thank y
I want to re-build a package for personal use, and have a special version
number for my custom build.
Since I'm not planning on customizing the source or the debian control files, I
think the ideal choice is to build a binary package with a suffix like "+b1" or
"+local" on the end.
