Aptitude’s (well-known) brokenness is irrelevant. There are many other APT frontents, like synaptic, which don’t have broken dependency management, and which will fail just as well with ia32-apt-get. I wonder how you could even think once that diverting apt-get was a good idea. If you need to hook into APT to convert packages and package lists on-the-fly, work with the APT maintainers so that APT provides hooks usable for that effect. But DO NOT BREAK the existing APT configuration. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette : :' : `. `' “I recommend you to learn English in hope that you in `- future understand things” -- Jörg Schilling
