ia32-aptitude vs. aptitude
Hi, I like the idea of the ia32-* packages managed by the ia32-apt-get package till multiarch is ready but I found that the amount of packages to be upgraded differs from aptitude to ia32-aptitude. As for today for example, I have 195 packages to upgrade using aptitude but ia32-aptitude only reports 157, does anyone knows why is this?. Thanks for all and congrats to Goswin for his effort.

Ernesto Because of lack of communication during the development process the efforts of Goswin have been removed from Debian: the 'ia32-apt-get' and 'ia32-libs-tools' packages were removed from the archives by the FTP master, and Goswin's appeal of the removal was rejected. See bug #535645. For now, the officially supported solution is 'ia32-libs' again. The officially-supported multiarch solution is on the way relatively soon, so you'll have to decide whether to keep Goswin's no-longer-official packages until it arrives, or remove Goswin's packages and go back to 'ia32-libs'.

Skype 2.1 with ia32-libs Was: ia32-aptitude vs. aptitude

Well. I went back to ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk and I have to download the Ubuntu AMD64 version from Skype again so I can install it without having to force it to do it by using the i386 version. But, I founded that the new Skype version doesn't work with the ia32-libs official package from Debian repositories unless you delete some files from /usr/lib32 as suggested on the post referenced on bug #546281. This is just to let others knows if they have the same problem than me :-) Greetings. Ernesto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The statically compiled version has the same problem and solution that the .deb package version. You'll have to delete the /usr/lib32/libpulse.* Ernesto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
