Bug#730841: boinc-nvidia-cuda: please Recommend libcuda1-i386 [amd64]

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi Andreas and all,


Package: boinc-nvidia-cuda
>Version: 7.2.33+dfsg-1
>Severity: normal

I think I fixed it in commit
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-boinc/boinc.git;a=commitdiff;h=26346c083bb655f7620f308ef0e5b393dacb520d
can you please review it?
I think I followed your suggestions, but I'm not completely sure.

Bests and thanks for your report/gift!,

Gianfranco
