[Bug 1250037] [NEW] /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so and libpthread is ascii, not ELF

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I wanted to run Android Development Tools 64 bit on Kubuntu 13.10 amd64. 
This requires a lot of 32 bit libs, since there are many 32 bit binaries included.
Currently it crashs at specific points. 

I believe the cause are some problems with the 32bit packages on ubuntu.

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu$ file *|grep ASCII
libc.so:                   ASCII text
libpthread.so:             ASCII text

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu$ head libc.so
/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a  AS_NEEDED ( /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-linux.so.2 ) )

I think this is wrong, because the other files are either links or ELF
binaries.

I tried the following fix: 
- delete the files
- remove and install libc-dev:i386. 

Now the wrong state as shown above is restored again. Which proves the
wrong files are contained in the libc-dev:i386 package.
