I would guess that using --add-architecture is a recipe for disaster at this point. Since x32 is not supported in eglibc 2.13, Daniel Schepler did the natural thing to do and used 2.16. So just installing libc6:x32 will pull in the corresponding libc6 for amd64 and upgrade your libc6:amd64 due to the nature of m-a:same. Other packages will likely have a similar effect. Proper x32 support can only reasonably be achieved in the archive when eglibc is updated to >= 2.16. See #667023 and #672934 for further details. So by the end of the year we should be there if Aurelien Jarno keeps his promise. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
