Shame on me! I did not read this time (but as usual I do, dammit). Anyway, I 
followed the instructions, but it did not work, due to dependencies. Look:

---------
LANG=C apt-get install lib32nss-mdns
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  lib32nss-mdns: Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.6-1) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Broken packages
-----------

I think, this problem with libc-i386 is already known. Package googleearth is 
also not so important for me, but it is nice to demonstrate, what I meant.

However, I welcome the new ideas for ia32-libs, and it is crystal clear for 
me, that things always break in the beginning. It is "unstable", where things 
break, were things go better ways, and were we all learn. So, please go on, 
even if users mention broken things! We all learn from these things.


Cheers
