[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#701879: ia32-libs: Unable to install ia32-libs

[jay E./]

Package: ia32-libs
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
I just installed Relase Candidate 1 - wheezy
on an AMD-64 box with windows-Vista
I added installs for RCS and gnuplot OK.
Then I tried BOINC. there was a problem with ia32-libs.
I aborted the boinc install then tried to install ia32-libs bu itself.
Here is the stdout
root@ xxx :/home/jay# aptitude search ia32
p   grub-efi-ia32                                               - GRand
Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-IA32 version)                
p   grub-efi-ia32-bin                                           - GRand
Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-IA32 binaries)               
p   ia32-libs                                                   -

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-i386 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     ia32-libs [Not Installed]                          



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n
=============================================================================

Then, I tried the virtual package the msg referred to... 
That yielded:
No candidate version found for ia32-libs-i386
No candidate version found for ia32-libs-i386
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
                                         
I was expecting to get the ia32-libs.
