Hi Mark,
This is what I get when I search ia32:
$ aptitude search ia32
p ia32-apt-get - Apt-get and dpkg wrapper for on-the-fly ia32-libs conversio
p ia32-archive - Create a local archive of converted i386 debs for amd64 and
i ia32-libs - ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems
v ia32-libs-gtk -
v ia32-libs-sdl -
p ia32-libs-tools - Tools for converting i386 debs for amd64 and ia64
p ia32-sun-java5-bin - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 (32-bit)
p ia32-sun-java6-bin - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (32-bit)
I'm running a 64-bit system. If you are running a 32-bit system, you will not find the ia32-libs, as they are not needed. The ia32 libraries are only needed on 64-bit systems for 32-bit compatibility.
If you are running a 32-bit system, I would say this is a different problem and would suggest opening a new thread with the exact errors you are getting.
I have a graphical system, so I'm not going to be able to help with the CLI issue.
