libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

[Hans-Ulrich Klein <h.klein@uni-muenster.de>]

Hi List,
I installed Debian testing (amd64 port) on a HP ProLiant server and it 
really works fine. As a last installation step, I want to install some 
HP software offering remote control of the server's health status. HP 
offers its software as deb-packages for amd64. Unfortunately, the 
HP-package depends on "libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2". The installation guide ( 
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/catalog_content/prod/product/install_page/T2812AA.html 
) says:

hpasm required library or package:
  [...]
  ia32-libs (for AMD64 only)
  [...]
  Note: As for hpasm 7.70 AMD64, you must force an install of i386 
library, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, run
           #dpkg -i --force-architecture 
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-22_i386.deb

Is this really the appropriate ways to install the i386 libs? It seems 
to be "grubby" for me.

Thanks in advance,
Hans-Ulrich
