ia32-libs (64bit)

[10toe]

Hi,

I'm stuck with my latest experiments...

I removed some packages (ia32-libs, and other 32-bit-packages like eagle, wine, google-earth) in order to test other packages (wine64-bin). After testing I am not able to reinstall ia32-libs.

Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
ia32-libs : Hängt ab von: ia32-libs-i386
E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.

Yes, I held wine on hold before but now "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" is null.

I also added the architecture i386 (dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update) but that results in the same message as above.

I would be delighted to receive your ideas! Thanks in advance! :-)
Kind regards,
Hans

There is no ia32-libs anymore.
After switching to multiarch, you should desripe your problem more precise.
After the switching to Multiarch, you can't install pseudo-64bit debs with 32bit software anymore, you have to install the real i386-debs.

I had the same problem and could install teamviewer-32 on my amd64 machine.

# apt-cache policy teamviewer7
teamviewer7:i386:
 Installiert:           7.0.9360


But i do not succeed installing the zimbra desktop. The installer thereof does explicitly need ia32 and they do not provide a 64bit version at all :-(

Thanks again towo, for your super fast help and the explanation! After activating multi-arch I could reinstall wine with no problem!

What I did in detail (tutorials: Multiarch/Implentation and Multiarch/HOWTO):

1. Adding the i386 architecture to /var/lib/dpkg/arch

Code Select Expand

dpkg --add-architecture i386
2. Setting up apt sources in /etc/apt/sources.d/debian.list and siduction.list

Code Select Expand

deb [arch:amd64,i386] http...
3. Installing the i386 package of wine

Code Select Expand

apt-get update && apt-get install wine:i386

Thx again! :-)

You don't need any changes in sources.list.
