Title:
  fakeroot in amd64 lacking support for i386

Status in “fakeroot” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  fakeroot installation in precise amd64 lacks support for i386
  binaries. This is to the lacking of the library /usr/lib/i386-linux-
  gnu/libfakeroot/libfakeroot-sysv.so. Trying to solve this problem
  installing fakeroot:i386 (which uninstall fakeroot:amd64) makes
  imposible to use it with 64 bits chroot when using fakechroot and
  debootstrap to create an i386 system. To be clear, i've installed
  ia32-libs, so 32 bits binaries work well in my system. Some examples
  of the fakeroot malfunction:

  === Example with fakeroot:amd64 ===:

  $ fakechroot fakeroot debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch=i386 precise /home/dariemp/Escritorio/Chroot_i386 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
   .........

   W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/dariemp/Escritorio/Chroot_i386
  dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
  files_6.5ubuntu6_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
  passwd_3.5.24_i386.deb

  $  fakechroot fakeroot chroot /home/dariemp/Escritorio/Chroot_i386
  dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
  files_6.5ubuntu6_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
  passwd_3.5.24_i386.deb
