[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#716860: Info received ( Bug#716860: I have the same issue)

[Rafał Pietrak]

The core library (e.g. "libc6") installed correctly, but I think, the 
new multiarch set of packages is still missing something:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.13.so
----------------------------------------------------------

meaning:
1. libncurses reports as installed
2. while there is no "i386-linux-gnu" variant of it.

I've installed the "libncursesw5:i386" package, but that does not 
provide "not-W" variant of the library:
-------------------------------------------
root at defaultvps:/opt/firebird# find /lib  /usr/lib/ -name 'libncurs*'
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5.9
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5.9
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5.9
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5
root at defaultvps:/opt/firebird# /opt/firebird/bin/fbmgr.bin -shut
/opt/firebird/bin/fbmgr.bin: error while loading shared libraries: 
libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------

So something is still missing from packages set of the new 
multiarch-framework. (pls. note that there *is* a "not-W" variant of the 
library for x86_64 architecture).

Does this qualify as an actual bug in the new framework .... or it's 
already resolved by some other package, which I'm still missing?
