I'm getting the same thing described here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/133389/no-such-file-or-directory-but-the-file-exists

Installing libc6-i386 solved the problem but it got me wonder what happen since it used not to happen before. I'm guessing it was cause after I updated trisquel to a newer kernel in one of trisquel's updates. Am I right?

The error was about the missing 32-bit stuff, not about the program you were trying to run (which clearly did exist.) It's a hard to fix shortcoming in the OS that only the error is returned, and not that the error actually concerns a different file from the one you're trying to run.

To be clear, this is not a new thing. If you didn't experience it before, it's probably because you already had the 32-bit libraries installed.
