Hmm, I don't think it's gcc-multilib directly; I think it's something it depends on libc6-dev-i386 that it pulls in.
I just tried this in a saucy (13.10) 64 bit vm, and it failed. sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib and it works But sudo dpkg --purge gcc-multilib gcc-4.8-multilib and it still works. sudo apt-get remove libc6-dev-i386 and it fails again so I think it depends on what you actually want from a fix; putting a dep on libc6-dev-i386 makes it work but it's still running sparse in 32 bits. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374927 Title: Sparse package doesn't run on 64 bits system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sparse/+bug/374927/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
