There must be, because I have both of them installed simultaneously:
$ apt-cache policy libstdc++6
libstdc++6:
Installed: 6.3.0-16
Candidate: 6.3.0-16
Version table:
*** 6.3.0-16 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.9.2-10 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
$ apt-cache policy libstdc++6:i386
libstdc++6:i386:
Installed: 6.3.0-16
Candidate: 6.3.0-16
Version table:
*** 6.3.0-16 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.9.2-10 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main i386 Packages
Also, from 'apt-cache show libstdc++6{,:i386}', I don't see any Breaks:
entry for either package on the other.
(Just for reference, I'm tracking testing, and am up-to-date with it as
of the past day or two - but I haven't changed the install status of
these packages in years, AFAIK, except to upgrade them when new versions
become available.)
What do you get from the 'apt-cache policy' commands I gave above?
