ia32-apt-get breaks system
Dear maintainers, although I like the idea with the new ia32-libs, it breaks my system. As the loss of dependencies, the package googleearth and the commercial package ia32-crossover-pro are deleted by apt-get, although they could be installed before. But whom to blame now? The producer of those packages (googleearth could not be build again!) or debian, as things worked before (before the change of the system with ia32-libs)? If the second case is true: should I file a bugreport??? Regards Hans-J. Ullrich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: ia32-apt-get breaks system
Seams that ia32-apt-get is really 'unstable'. As I said, I'm a very experienced user on mixing testing+usntable and even other origin sources (Debian + Kanotix + unofficial + whatever-comes-to-my-mind). Yes, my system is not stable be used as a server, but to a desktop this recipe have worked as a charm form me. A lot of times a have to solve broken dependencies by hand (dpkg --purge, wget to download, dpkg --install...) but in the end everything goes fine. But with the advent of ia32-ap-get I face the first time where mixed 'sources.list' brings big troubles to my computer (HP Pavillion dv5-1125br). There's some point missing to get ia32-apt-get work as expected. My case is punctual (a user who really likes to mix many things) but, if theres is other users having trouble with ia32-apt-get just by using testing/squeeze? I have deinstaled packages by hand and reinstalled using aptitude, need to make some pin before that. Now everything is working as before. Well, I'm not here just to complain about misworking of a package/software, if theres' is something to do to help improving ia32-ap-get stability/usability just say to me. Many thanks to the developers and tester who are working hard to make Debian (and derivatives) one of the most popular and usable Linux distirbutions/Operating System.

I did not read this time (but as usual I do, dammit). Anyway, I followed the instructions, but it did not work, due to dependencies. Look: - LANG=C apt-get install lib32nss-mdns Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: lib32nss-mdns: Depends: libc6-i386 (= 2.6-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages --- I think, this problem with libc-i386 is already known. Package googleearth is also not so important for me, but it is nice to demonstrate, what I meant. However, I welcome the new ideas for ia32-libs, and it is crystal clear for me, that things always break in the beginning. It is unstable, where things break, were things go better ways, and were we all learn. So, please go on, even if users mention broken things! We all learn from these things.

I have ia32-apt-get for a while now and this is true googleearth stop working in the last update because I test it months ago... you only need to install ia32-libnss-mdns and googleearth works again... (should depend on this library) In general take a few minutes to check all your ia32 applications, all should work... ia32-libs is a bundle of libraries and configurations ia32-apt-get is exactly the oposite a way to install the right libraries for your application not all the common libraries needed good luck But whom to blame now?
