Thanks for the clarification!
When I run apt-get dist-upgrade and ia32-apt-get dist-upgrade I get stuck with
E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6-i386 for lib32stdc++6, probably a dependency cycle.
And as you suggest I seem to be getting the a double dose of the same packages by using both commands.
Is there any way to remove all the the unnecessary packages?
Thanks again,
Norv
