Bug#310047: libc6-amd64 upgrade conflicts with unrelated libc6-x86

[Konrad Rosenbaum <konrad@silmor.de>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21
Severity: important

When upgrading libc6 it checks for other installations of libc on the same
system. Unfortunately it does not distinguish between the amd64 and x86
versions and stops the installation although no real conflict would
have resulted since the conflicting version is x86 and not amd64.

Possible solution:
check each found libc.so on file type with "file":
x86: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
amd64: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped

-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8-smp
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)
