Hello,

Sorry for the delay before replying these.

I am packaging latest delivery and I now understand the issues you reported.

Because of the MultiArch introduction the symlinks that were generated 
at compile time now embed an architecture specific dependency. For 
instance, libncurses-gst which is arch:all can now embeds an arch 
specific dependency.  For 3.2.4-2 it did not because I built it on an 
i386 machine.  The issue stems from the fact that affected packages are 
Arch:all.  I don't think using dpkg triggers will be enough.

The rlibrary loading mechanism of GNU Smalltalk used at runtime will 
probably needs some adjustments to make it MultiArch aware.

Thanks,
Regards,

Thomas
