Hi list, I'm trying to install the NVidia binary package in Debian wheezy from wheezy-backports on a 64bit system — which went fine. I've added multiarch:
> % dpkg --print-architecture > amd64 > > % dpkg --print-foreign-architectures > i386 But if I try to install the 32 bit compatibility package from multiarch… > % aptitude install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-kernel-dkms:i386 > The following NEW packages will be installed: > nvidia-kernel-dkms:i386{b} > The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: > libcuda1:i386 nvidia-driver:i386 > 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 155 not upgraded. > Need to get 9,919 kB of archives.

For example: > % aptitude install -t wheezy-backports libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 > The following NEW packages will be installed: > libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386{b} > 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 155 not upgraded. > Need to get 10.6 MB of archives.

The -ia32 variants of the packages (for example libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32) fail with similar error messages. As far as I know, these problems don't exist in jessie, and all my Googling got me to jessie results, or to wheezy w/o backports. Is there a way to install without a dist-upgrade (or pinning) to jessie? Thanks! A.
