Let me echo David and thank you for the explanation, Scott. However, I'm still having a problem that appears to come from this 32-bit subsystem. Specifically, if I go to install Wine, apt wants to remove gettext. Wine recommends, but does not require, gettext:1386, and apt indicates that this will NOT be automatically installed to replace the removed gettext package (i.e. gettext:amd64, unless I've missed something).
The behaviour I would have expected is that either gettext:amd64 is not removed at all, or gettext:i386 is automatically installed to replace it. Is this correct behaviour? Should I just accept it and install gettext:i386 myself? Or is it a bug?
