Hi there, I just saw this morning after mistakenly installing the -amd64 packages on a 32bit machine, that the i386 packages had disappeared from debian from jessie onwards. I was wondering about the reason for this disappearance. Is it because upstream cut off support for 32 bit systems? I scratched really fast on the bug reports and couldn't see one that talked about this. -- Gabriel Filion -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

However the i386 tools still exist (e.g. [0]) and can be used with the xen-hypervisor-*-amd64 package[1] (or via the metapackage[2]) with an i386 kernel+userspace in a "32on64" configuration. Ian.
