Package: ia32-libs-gtk

Hello there,

First, I'm really please to use the ia32 compatibility on Debian amd64.
This feature is just awesome when you have to deal with sucky
propriatery software which does not handle 64bits integers...

I just have a little problem with symlinks within /lib32 and /usr/lib32.
For a few libraries it seems some symlinks are missing. For example,
the /usr/lib32/libdbus-glib-1.so symlinks is missing, same thing
with /lib32/libdbus-1.so, /usr/lib32/libgio-2.0.so, etc...
A few times before I had run some gtk+ ia32 binary without any problem,
but this time I'm compiling for ia32 from amd64, and the linker fails to
find the libraries.

So far it's not a big deal, I just did a few ln -s...
I don't know whether or not these links are generated automaticly or
whether they should be contained in packages.

Thx for your work !

Regards,
