My conclusion would be that you would need python and python:i386 at the same time, which multiarch does not support. Would you care about adding this to the wiki? I would do it myself, but I don't use Google Earth.

I missed that, that multiarch does not allow co-installation of binaries, but only libraries. Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

You could build a lsb-core:i386 package with equivs, ideally depending on the libraries the actual package also depends on, but leaving out the programs. Alternatively, just install said libraries manually (using apt-get libpam0g:i386, for example) and completely leave out the dependencies in the fake lsb-core:i386 package.

Claudius, what a splendid idea. Should have thought of that myself. I did option 1. Just copied the control file out of lsb-core:386 and deleted all programs from the dependencies. And then ram equivs-build with that file, then installed that package and installed google-earth again and voila! Thanks again.

google-earth + multiarch
Hi, As an exercise in multiarch I tried installing google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb in according to http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#Multiarch. Has anybody actually accomplished that? What I ended up with is: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-earth-stable: google-earth-stable depends on lsb-core (= 3.2). But that is the i386 version of course and I never managed to get out of that hole trying to install it.
