Is there someone reading this who can assure me that debian installing a package named "lib6-i386" does NOT mean it's installing 32 bit development libraries somehow
@ringles ok… do you know if there's a way of preventing such libraries from being installed? i actually kind of would rather get an error message than a successful run if i accidentally make a 32 bit executable lol
I added foreign architecture i386 to my Debian amd64 installation. How do I remove it? When I try this command: dpkg --remove-architecture i386, I am told to first remove all i386 packages.

If you want to give it a shot:

Note I disclaim all responsibility! I recommend using the command at that link to look for "i386" packages:
dpkg -l | grep i386
How do I remove all i386 architecture packages from my Debian installation?

The libclang-rt package includes sanitiser libraries for both 32-bit and 64-bit development, so brings in the 32-bit libraries.
