Hi all,
I just noticed that gcc-libs-multilib replaces and provides gcc-libs. I would prefer if this package would just provide those files in /usr/lib32 and not replace a core package. The disadvantages of the current package are that systems might break if gcc in core/testing is newer and its more difficult to remove the multilib packages. I see that this is a bigger problem for gcc itself; but this wont be installed by the average user anyway and only in the build chroot.
So my suggestion would be that multilib (runtime) packages should not replace packages from core or extra.
Greetings,

I will be splitting lib32-gcc-libs from gcc-multilib. All lib32-packages should depend on this instead of gcc-libs-multilib. I'll fix these: |--gcc-libs-multilib |--lib32-mesa |--lib32-pcre |--lib32-db |--gcc-multilib |--lib32-gnutls |--nspluginwrapper |--lib32-flac Are there any left?
