Hello

Given no trace of ia32-apt in the archives I take it it's not going to
get into Squeeze.

Still could the patched apt get at least into experimantal so that we
get choice of half-working solutions rather than only half-broken
ia32-libs that are there now?

I understand that ia32-apt-get is not going to be as polished as
ia32-libs but then it allows to install any version of the packages in
question, like the experimental mesa and mesa modules which I need for
running wine with 3D and which ia32-libs understandably won't provide
on 64bit. With ia32-apt-get and i386 only source of the wine packages
I get a working solution which is not possible in current Debian.

Thanks

Michal
