ia32-libs Dependency Problem

**ShareBuntu** · April 26th, 2012

When I try to install ia32-libs I get an error that says I have an unmet dependency on ia32-libs-multiarch. However, when I try and install ia32-libs-multiarch, I get the same message, except this time the dependencies are gstreamet0.10-plugins-good, libcurl3, and libssl. Any ideas how I could resolve this and install ia32-libs?

sudo install -f ia32-libs fixed it.

Hi, it does not work:

jg@JG-Laptop:~$ sudo install -f ia32-libs
install: invalid option -- 'f'

I think it should be

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install ia32-libs

the -f attempts to fix broken packages

Sorry! I have an alias for install. It should be sudo apt-get -f install ia32-libs. pbrane is correct.

I don't think you should have to mess with this at all. 12.04 comes with multiarch preinstalled, which completely replaces ia32-libs. It's a new way of dealing with 32-bit software.

It happened after an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04. Didn't have the same problem on a clean install.
