Yes is does -- it does confirm that a simple install is not available
for amd64 architecture.  By simple, I mean  sudo apt-get install
squeak.

And it doesn't.  I have a hard time convincing my sys admins and their
bosses to take seriously a package that does not have a
straightforward install process on 64 bit machines.

chroot'ing in their words is for 'legacy and un-supported systems that
should not be installed on a production server.'

I am trying to set up a demonstration server that will allow squeak
with seaside to be considered a viable alternative.  I should say that
I'm not a sys admin and am feeling very frustrated with the lack of
installable options.

So please ... could those that maintain the debian and / or other os
vms create an installable 64 bit deb and / or rpm.

Thanks
