This package is huge ! Is there a good reason it combines so many 32bits libraries from so many (x86) Debian packages ? Is there going to be a different ia32-libs package to download each time one of it's many elements is upgraded in debian 32 ? (which could be a daily happenning) It uses 27 MByte ! why not several subsets ? remove everything X to start with. anybody : is there an alternative ? Ernest.
