Comment 25 for bug 852101

The reinstalling of libc6-i386 hasn't installed any other packages. This means where was no loader missing or the loader isn't explicitly a package. Why is the loader "activated" if libc6-i386 is reinstalled? Why was the loader "deactivated" after I uninstalled skype:i386 with all it's dependencies? Or does the deleting of /etc/dpkg/multiarch which included "foreign-architecture i386" disable it?

The behaviour is a little strange that the loader can be disabled if an installed package like Wine depends on it.
