Hi Daniel,
I'm using aptitude on an amd64 system with activated i386 architecture
and select the package libwine-unstable:i386. There you can see that the
recommended package ttf-liberation is UNAVAILABLE.
So I have rebuilt the source package fonts-liberation with the tag
"Multi-Arch: foreign" in the control file.
Now the package libwine-unstable:i386 has found the package ttf-
liberation.
Kind regards
Detlev
