Because glibc on the gcc4 branch is patched and cretes binary packages not available in debian: http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/gcc-3.4/pool/unstable/main/amd64/g/glibc/ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=274367 the libc6-i386 and libc6-dev-i386 packages should conflict with ia32-libs. I opt against this patch at the present state, this should be implemented in multiarch, and in coordination with the ia32-libs maintainer. Adding more broken biarch support is the wrong way. > Preparing to replace ia32-libs 0.7.0.0.1.gcc4 (using .../ia32-libs_1.2.0.0.1.gcc4_amd64.deb) ... > Unpacking replacement ia32-libs ... > dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_1.2.0.0.1.gcc4_amd64.deb (--unpack): > trying to overwrite `/lib/ld-linux.so.2', which is also in package libc6-i386 > This makes me very nervous. Could anybody please resolve this > conflict? Try purging the offending packages, or switch to pure64. I think the gcc4 branch should be a topic on the IRC meeting next saturday too, I would like to move it into a separate alioth project as soon as possible, since it keeps breaking on users and should not be confused with pure64, and neither be seen as a "more performant alternative".
