No, the normal sid version. What version of libc6 do you have? Could
it be that the libc6 and libc6-i386 have different versions? The
libc6-i386 shoul depend on a new enough libc6 package for ldconfig to
work. But I never checked that and don't have access to my sid system
currently.

Hmm. I don't think there is a concept for the search order of those
links yet. The directory is ment only for system library dirs so there
should be no need for ordering them I think. User dirs should still be
in ld.so.conf
If you can think of a reason requiring a specific order the links
could be prefixed with a number and sorted that way I guess.
