Bug Description
# apt-get install wine1.3:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxt6 : Depends: libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsm6 but it is not going to be installed
wine1.3:i386 : Depends: procps:i386 but it is not going to be installed
Obviously, some of these libs (certainly libxml2, libgstreamer and libgphoto2) aren't multiarch.
wine1.3 should be just a dummy depending on wine1.3:i386 on amd64 to squish all the lib issues once for good but it can't until all its dependencies are multiarch.
The package needs more work than that. Multiarch allows us to get dual 32/64 bit support finally working on Precise. Multiarching the dependencies is of course the first step, but afterwards the package will need some special splitting to get this working, see: http:// wiki.winehq. org/Wine64ForPa ckagers
