I found the current RHEL/Fedora approach much better. For example; at work we use IBM Lotus Notes, which is a 32 bit package. To install it in a 32 bit or 64 bit environment the command is the same (i.e. yum localinstall) as it will pull in the correct 32 bit dependencies. Basically hassle free. The guys that run Debian/Ubuntu notebooks, have to go through a series of dependency problems just to install the package in a 64 bit environment with getlibs and the like: http://usablesoftware.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/install-lotus-notes-8-5-3-on-ubuntu-12-10-64bit-quick-n-dirty-installation-notes/ http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedWeb/69b50f2db7bb7b0b85257659005ab79e?OpenDocument
These examples both suggest the use of the "ia32-libs" package. The package was an ugly workaround for the missing multilib support in Debian, but it should be obsolete with full multiarch in Debian 7.0.
