Need Help with Aptitude on Debian

[Mark Phillips]

I am running a amd64 machine with Debian testing. I need to build a python
db connector that uses libmysqlclient-dev. However, I need to install the
i386 version and not the amd64 version. From what I have read, (1) this
python mysql connector needs the i386 mysql client headers to compile, and
(2) the 64 bit version of mysql server runs just fine with the i386 client
and the python connector. How the heck do I tell aptitude to install the
i386 version of the libmysqlclient-dev?

Thanks!

Mark
