[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#538642: ia32-apt: original binaries not always called by full path

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: ia32-apt-get
Version: 22
Severity: normal
File: ia32-apt


I tried to link the ia32-* scripts into /usr/local without the ia32-
prefix and noticed a few infinite loops.

Namely in ia32-dpkg and apt-conf-defaults dpkg should be called by full
path, in ia32-apt-cache apt-cache should be called by full path.

Another minor issue is that the comparison in ia32-aptitude fails so the
message about update being broken is not displayed.
