Bug#716860: I have the same issue

[Rafał Pietrak]

I need to install firebird version 1.5 from thrd-party, and the package 
requires 32-bit environment, thus it needs "ia32-libs". Stil, 
"ia32-libs" has unmet dependency on " ia32-libs-i386", which is not 
available.

1. why "ia32-libs-i386" is not available if it's necesary (through 
dependency)?
2. or: why "ia32-libs" depends on "ia32-libs-i386"; it it's not?
Who should I ask to fix it one way or another?
