Comment 2 for bug 140621

These were scientific programs that were installed directly under /
user/local, without the Ubuntu software package manager. These
packages came with pre-compiled 32-bit executables and with the source
code. Personally, I think, the 32-bit compatibility libraries should
be installed per default on any 64-bit linux for compatibility reasons.

Best regards,

Dirk Kostrewa.
