19.20-812932 release for Ubuntu

Release page https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-lin-19-20-unified says that it supports ubuntu x86_64, but actually it can be installed on ubuntu x86.

In case you do not want to support ubuntu x86, then why include several 32-bit meta packages? For example, there are amdgpu-pro-hwe:i386 and amdgpu-pro-lib32. You could drop amdgpu-pro-hwe:i386 then.

Or is that made intentionally?

You need certain 32bit packages on 64bit systems to be able to use the driver with 32bit applications.

But this doesn't make the package work on a 32bit Ubuntu, because for example we don't need a 32bit package for the DDX.

As far as I know we don't support any 32bit distributions any more, but it is perfectly possible that we are still building to many 32bit packages.

In this case feel free to re-open the bug report.
