Bug#267297: lib64gcc1 (priority required) depends on an optional package



Package: lib64gcc1
Version: 3.4.1-7
Severity: normal

lib64gcc1 (which is of priority required) depends on amd64-libs, which
is optional. This does not make much sense.

$ apt-cache show lib64gcc1
Package: lib64gcc1
Priority: required
Section: libs
Architecture: i386
Source: gcc-3.4 (3.4.1ds1-7)
Version: 1:3.4.1-7
Depends: amd64-libs (>= 0.1)

$ apt-cache show amd64-libs
Package: amd64-libs
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Architecture: i386
Version: 1.0

lib64gcc1 should not be of priority required on the i386 architecture
which itself is a 32-bit architecture. Most of the installations which
do not run on an AMD64 cpu probably never will need it.
