Dear Maintainer,

I've been using a i386 install running on an amd64 kernel for many
years, and recently a new problem showed up: to build kernel modules
`dkms` needs `linux-headers-amd64(:amd64)` and this package conflicts
with the 32bit GCC toolchain forcing me to install gcc-13:amd64 instead,
which in turns forces me to move to the amd64 version of many other
packages (such as `ocaml`, `ghc`, `emacs`, ...).

I suspect this is linked to bug#1042993

Hi Stefan,

Doing some BTS housekeeping.

Starting in trixie i386 is only partially supported and documented in
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/release-notes/issues.en.html#i386-reduced-support
.

Thus I will close this issue now.

Regards,
Salvatore
