Bug Description

Binary package hint: g++-4.2

7.10. Amd64.

installed g++-4.2, libc6-dev-i386, lib32stdc++6.

g++ -m32 fails to link, complaining that it cannot find -lstdc++. It mentions /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++*, but not anything installed by the lib32 package.

This turns out to be a lack of multilib.

I would write a howto on all this if I knew how to write a howto.

Where would I go to suggest a metapackage that calls forth all the necessary pieces: multilib and the lib32 packages?
