[Bug 560143] Re: BOINC for amd64 should depend on the libc6-i386 or ia32-libs

[Steffen Möller]

Could someone please help me with a patch that would keep the package functional on non Intel|AMD machines?
One can recommend about everything, but to truly depend on it ... donno.

Today, the setting is

Package: boinc-client
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, python (>= 2.3), adduser, ca-certificates
Suggests: boinc-app-seti, boinc-manager, x11-xserver-utils, ia32-libs

Package: boinc-manager
Section: x11
Recommends: boinc-client, ia32-libs
Suggests: libgl1-mesa-glx, libxt6

and this is motivated by the observation that the scientific
applications themselves are commonly completely static while the
graphics often explicitly needs the 32 bit variant. Am I wrong? What
projects are making those problems?
