Eagle not available in 11.10 amd64 but i386 package works

Hi

It seems that Eagle (PCB design tool) has disappeared on upgrade to
11.10 (64 bit).

I ran
sudo apt-get install eagle-data
Then downloaded the i386 version of the eagle package and ran
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture eagle_5.11.0-3ubuntu1_i386.deb

and it installed just fine. On a quick prod around the program it
seems to work OK.

I understand that 11.10 adds some extra support for running 32-bit
packages in a 64-bit installation but I'm not sure whether that is
comprehensive.

Is there a case for the package manager offering a 32-bit version of a
package in the case where the 64-bit version is not available? This
might be a general feature or something that's just enabled on a
package-by-package basis, depending on whether the compatibility is
universal or not.

'sudo apt-get install eagle:i386' should also have worked and is more
straightforward. I believe that's what you're supposed to do now for
this package, given this changelog entry:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eagle/5.11.0-3ubuntu1

To elaborate on the reason for that change, ia32-libs was a giant blob
of a package with copies of various 32-bit libraries that were needed
for running 32-bit applications on 64-bit systems. The source package
was over half a gigabyte (I wish I were exaggerating), which meant
hardly any developers ever wanted to touch it. It was a security
nightmare and often resulted in us shipping out-of-date libraries, and a
30MB package wasn't exactly great for users either. One of the major
reasons for doing multiarch (although certainly not the only one) was so
that we could take out ia32-libs and burn it, so packages that
previously relied on ia32-libs are now being moved over to multiarch.

We're building that up package-by-package. It should work in this case,
though.

It's supposed to do that already. Did it not in this case? Which
package management application were you using?

Thanks, that's useful to know. Plus this method is more secure as
apt-get verifies the sig of th download.

The Ubuntu Software Center offers "Eagle", but clicking on install
silently fails.
"apt-cache search eagle" reveals eagle-data but not eagle.
"aptitude search eagle" does show eagle but I think that's because I've
now got it installed.

Yes, but when I set up connection with wvdial, then other application do
not know, that network connection is active.
For example Empathy refuses to work in this condition...
