Modifications to gnome-program have been made to address dlopen's of certain libraries and provide a multiarch path in addition to the original path to make sure the routine can find the module.

The rest is typical multiarch conversion

This also needs a manual dependency on the version of libbonobo2-0 that introduces support for multiarch path lookups (version 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1).

Rather than moving gnome-open to a new -bin package, did you consider moving it into libgnome2-common and making libgnome2-common an Arch: any package?

I don't understand this comment. Are you talking about the libbonobo search path, or something else?

Comment 7 was basically an addition to the comment I made in 6

Modifications to gnome-program have been made to address dlopen's of certain libraries and provide a multiarch path in addition to the original path to make sure the routine can find the module.

Hello Tom, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libgnome into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgnome/2.32.1-2ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

The package in precise-proposed works for me.
Now the i386 and amd64 are co-installable. I didn't face any package removal. Thanks.
