Public bug reported:
adb (the multi-purpose Android tool) is made available for download by
Google.
The available version is 32-bit only. Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit is able to run
32-bit executables, but in the case of adb there's a problem.
adb needs libncurses.so.5, and libncurses5:i386 cannot be installed on
64-bit machines: it clashes with the plain libncurses5, needed by many
fundamental applications.
Until libncurses5:i386 and libncurses5:amd64 can be installed in
parallel, adb cannot be run. This is a serious impediment for wannabe
Android developers with 64-bit machines.
** Affects: ncurses (Ubuntu)
