[Bug 1867432] Re: Please stop building libcrypt for multilib packages (Ubuntu 20.04)

[Halvor Lyche Strandvoll]

So the problem here is that /lib32/libcrypt.so.1 is found first by the
linker, similar to what's happening in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org
/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=951880) but in my case for lib32.

Seems the library in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 works just
fine, my dirty workaround for this was to create a link: ln -s
/lib32/libcrypt.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1

This is a dirty workaround, and this really needs to be fixed as soon as
possible. Steam and Proton as well as Wine packaged by Ubuntu is still
depending on i386 libraries, and a lot of Ubuntu users use one of these
software packages.

Can we please give this bug some more attention?
