   Is there someone reading this who can assure me that debian installing a package named "lib6-i386" does NOT mean it's installing 32 bit development libraries somehow

     @mcc @ringles Kernel support for executing 32bit can be disabled but I'm not sure if it's runtime settable or only kernel build time.

     @ringles ok… do you know if there's a way of preventing such libraries from being installed? i actually kind of would rather get an error message than a successful run if i accidentally make a 32 bit executable lol

     No, just libraries to support running 32-bit applications!
