We had a 64-bit system running 10.04.3 LTS server edition, using ELDK
4.0 as a 32-bit binary. It worked fine with the ia32-libs package. This
morning I upgraded it to 12.04.1 LTS, using do-release-upgrade, and the
upgrade automatically removed the ELDK package (packaged by me from
binary).
I installed the package again manually, but I'm now unable to install
32-bit support libraries as many others are:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Reading package lists... Done

Are there any workarounds to this? Can I fetch the libraries from some other
repository? It seems there are bug reports of similar issues with ia32-libs for
almost a year now, but all seem to be somehow ignored. Isn't this clearly a
regression?
What is required to fix this? Is anyone working on the issue? Can I
help?
