+ [Test Case]
1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems)
2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386)
3. Mark something with a lot of dependencies for installation
4. On the confirmation screen, try to remove on of the dependencies (aptitude
will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out
removing the i386 libs)
This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default in
oneiric).
- WORKAROUND:
+ [Workaround]
1. If you can survive without 32 bit libraries, just comment out the single
line in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch; or
2. Use another package manager (e.g. apt-get, synaptic, or Software Center)
3. Disable the problem resolver by adding this line in /etc/apt/apt.conf:
Aptitude::ProblemResolver::StepLimit "0";
