dpkg --force-architecture to install 32-bit software on 64-bit system - bad idea?
And, if so, how bad? I have installed Kompozer (the successor to
Nvu), but the Debian package is a 32-bit package. I forced it to
install anyway, and it seems to run just fine, although launching it
caused a bunch of the following :Gtk-WARNING **:
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-uim.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64.
Is there an Approved Way of installing 32-bit packages when no 64-bit
package is available? (Kompozer is not in the official Debian
repository, for some reason.)
