Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-current
Recent versions of the nvidia-current package for amd64 are missing /usr/lib32/
The library is still part of the upstream packages, in both 32- and 64-bit versions. What seems to have changed is that it is now linked against libXvMC.so.1, which is available in 64-bit form from Ubuntu package libxvmc1 but not yet in 32-bit form. I'm therefore conjecturing that one way to fix this bug could be to:
(1) make some package (ia32-libs or whatever) provide /usr/lib32/
(2) make nvidia-current build-depend on this package.
The package as it stands may be inadvertently violating the "No Separation of Components" clause in the NVIDIA license. (In other words, I don't think that dropping the dangling symlinks would be an acceptable solution.)
