Bug Description
SRU JUSTIFICATION: orbit2 is part of the core GNOME2 library stack. Although GNOME2 is itself deprecated, there is still plenty of software using these libraries, and some of this software is only available as 32-bit software (in some cases because it's non-free and binary-only). It's important to have good support for such software in an LTS release, since users of such software will often stick with the LTS.
This SRU is part of a set together with libart-lgpl, libbonobo, libbonoboui, and gnome-vfs.
REGRESSION POTENTIAL: orbit2 loads dynamic objects from the filesystem. This means that there's potential for regression of reverse-
TEST CASE:
1. Install liborbit2 from precise on an amd64 machine.
2. Try to install liborbit2:i386. Note that it wants to remove liborbit2. Abort the installation.
3. enable -proposed. Try to install liborbit2:i386 again. Note that it wants to upgrade liborbit2 and install liborbit2:i386. Accept the upgrade.
4. confirm that the packages install successfully.
5. install liborbit2-dev from -proposed. Rebuild all packages that build-depend on liborbit2-dev to verify that they build successfully with no changes to the package contents or dependencies.
