Package: ia32-libs-i386
Followup-For: Bug #680153

  Hi,

  I've a system where jack2 (package libjack-jackd2-0) is installed.

  When trying to dist-upgrade, ia32-libs is not upgraded (and ia32-libs-i386 is not
installed as my ia32-libs package predate the multiarch switch):
root at eyak:/home/vdanjean# apt-get dist-upgrade
[...]
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  lesstif2:i386 libcurl3:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libnss-ldap:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 libpam-ldap:i386 libsasl2-2:i386 libsasl2-modules:i386 nscd
The following packages have been kept back:
  ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
0 upgraded, 10 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

  When trying to force the upgrade, apt tells me about a problem:
root at eyak:/home/vdanjean# apt-get install ia32-libs
[...]
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-i386
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  When trying to install ia32-libs-i386, apt show me (part of) the
problem with jack:
root at eyak:/home/vdanjean# apt-get install ia32-libs-i386
[...]
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs-i386:i386 : Depends: libjack0:i386 (>= 1:0.118+svn3796-7) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


  If I really want to install it, apt proposes me to remove gnome and other software:

  In fact, the correct "workaround" in this case is to switch back to jack1
on the amd64 architecture:

  But, of course, switching back to jack1 instead of jack2 on the main architecture
is not something anybody would agree.

  So, I think this bug should really be solved before wheezy, either with an
alternative as proposed, or with the downgrade from depends to recommends for
the jack library.

  Regards,
    Vincent
