What is libc5-i686 | lib32gcc1 (proliant package dependencies)

[Alessandro Vesely <vesely@tana.it>]

Hi all,

I have a .deb package from HP (hp-health) that has this requirement, and 
doesn't install because of it.  It got damaged somehow during the last 
dist-upgrade.  I think I'd better re-install it.

I have both libc6:i386 and lib32gcc-s1 (on an AMD 64bit machine).
libc6-i686:i386  is tagged 'rc' transitional dummy package.

HP doesn't seem to be inclined to update their support packages.  Should I 
force the install, rebuild the package with a different DEBIAN/control, or 
something else?

BTW, is the latter option just dpkg-deb -R followed by dpkg-deb -b?


Thanks for any hint
Ale
