Description: ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems
This package contains runtime libraries for the ia32/i386
architecture, configured for use on an amd64 or ia64 Debian system running
a 64-bit kernel.
Tag: hardware::emulation, role::shared-lib
However the following message was not quite usable:
ia32-libs-libssh2: Depends: ia32-libs (>= 20090808) but it is not
going to be installed
I understand the reasons it is there but I think it should be more verbose.
