[Bug 1001129] Re: fakeroot in amd64 lacking support for i386

[ELIPTUS]

Since this is the top hit for this issue in Google, I'm documenting my
workaround here for others:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfakeroot" fakeroot

Basically, when fakeroot adds x86_64, lib64, and lib32 to the search
paths, but omits i386:

: %; fakeroot -- ${SHELL} -c 'echo ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}' 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfakeroot:/usr/lib64/libfakeroot:/usr/lib32/libfakeroot

Manually adding it solves the issue:

: %; LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfakeroot" fakeroot -- ${SHELL} -c 'echo ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}'
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfakeroot:/usr/lib64/libfakeroot:/usr/lib32/libfakeroot:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfakeroot

Title:
  fakeroot in amd64 lacking support for i386

Status in fakeroot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in fakeroot package in Debian:
  New

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
