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.

I've just tried mozilla.org → firefox → download and got this:
  ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=68f94b203ba99ff707890e8a946ea3ee60c1600f, stripped

I'm not sure multiarch is so badly needed, and probably wouldn't belong
to tasksel anyway. Closing this report for the time being.

Mraw,
KiBi.
