Bug#697372: Please add 32-bit compatibility to amd64 Debian desktops *by default*
Package: tasksel
Version: 3.14
Dear developers,
32-bit programs, such as FireFox refuse to work on Debian 7.0 64-bit (amd64).
This issue is well documented in the Bug#697270: "PC 32-bit programs
fails to work on amd64".
It turns out, that default Debian 7.0 64-bit does not include 32-bit libraries.
I ask you to include LSB 32-bit libraries on amd64 systems, if the
user chooses "Desktop environment".
Because this issue will hit desktop users the most. Lots of popular
programs ship in 32-bit by default (such as forementioned FireFox from
mozilla.org)
I am using amd64 Debian GNU/Linux 7.0, kernel 3.2.
