    ia32-libs broken

    Hi, during the latest update I got this:

    Code:
    Selecting previously deselected package lib32ncursesw5.
    (Reading database ... 348379 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking lib32ncursesw5 (from .../lib32ncursesw5_5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ...

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ia32-libs:
     ia32-libs depends on lib32ncursesw5; however:
      Package lib32ncursesw5 is not installed.
    dpkg: error processing ia32-libs (--configure):
     dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
    ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     ia32-libs
    Now I get "ia32-libs package is broken". Any ideas how to proceed?

    Thanks!

    Update:
    solved by reinstalling lib32ncursesw5 package. don't know why it failed to begin with!
