Description:
Hi,

Since the update of our MySQL.Data nuget package from version 8.0.31 to 8.0.32 we are unable to use our application on 32-bit OS.

After analyzing the refences from the MySql.Data.dll we can see that a refences to gssapi64.dll has been added in 8.0.32.

I guess you should change that to gssapi32.dll to allow MySql.Data.dll to be used on 32-bit only OS.

Regards
Camille.

How to repeat:
 - Build a 32-bit executable using MySql.Data.dll
 - Run the exe on a 32-bit OS

Screenshot of the references difference between 8.0.31 and 8.1.0 (identical with 8.0.32)

This seems to be due to the Kerberos remove then re-added feature:

The MIT provide a 32-bit version of their Kerberos library:
