This *-dev* package is arch: all, there is no ":i386" version.  You install
it without this suffix, can still cross compile.

The corresponding library package can be installed for i386 no problem.

Title:
  libsdl1.2-dev:i386 cannot be installed on 64-bit systems

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Platform:
  Ubuntu Precise 12.04.2 LTS 3.2.0-39-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 28 00:28:53 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Reference:
  I also refer you to bug #1068374 which is very similar in behaviour.

  Behaviour:
  When I try to bring in libsdl1.2-dev:i386, apt wants to uninstall half my system!

  Expectation:
  I would expect the library to be installed seamlessly along with the other i386 libraries I had already obtained.

  Detail:
  I was in the throes of installing Neverwinter Nights game natively under linux using instructions found on "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113259" and on
  "http://social.bioware.com/forum/Neverwinter-Nights-1/NwN-1-Technical-Support-Self-help-for-all-versions-and-expansions/nwmouse-and-friends-64bit-linux-5212955-1.html".  
  I wanted this package to cross-compile the nwmouse.so component to assist with the installation of a hardware mouse within the game.

  Additional:
  Using the instructions for further information requested in bug #1068374 I've already attached the output for further analysis.
