That was actually what I was thinking of. I listed libc6 as an
example of how it could be done:
21:29:54 arthur@turing:~$ dpkg -L libc6-i586
/.
/lib
/lib/i586
/lib/i586/libBrokenLocale-2.2.1.so
/lib/i586/libc-2.2.1.so
[..]
see?
And I don't even have to install i686 stuff that I don't need.
Installation of such packages should be handled automaticall by
apt though.
ciao, 2ri
