    Unwelcomed deb-Hell

    In my attempts to get Skype and GoogleEarth installed, I have not been at all successful at installing ia32-libs despite the positive reports from others. I have just installed the 22 Feb 2012 "precise-desktop-amd64(1).iso". My first actions were to install the packages for "nfs' and "ssh". To get all the required packages, I set up the sources as in the graphics below.

    I then tried to install the ia32-libs file and the sequence that I went through is shown below.
    Code:
    aurora@sybil:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

    I found it rather puzzling that packages it depended on would not be installed and when I checked they were installed. The final problem child is "ia32-libs-multiarch:i386". I have tried on two occasions to install these dependencies and have run into serious trouble. The latest which resulted in my re-installation gave the following messages:

    and this on a fully updated 12.04 system!

    I went ahead and accepted the offer, and it installed all of that stuff with no error output, demanded a restart, and now I have this:

    So, it may just be the stage of development of this version, the day you chose to get your daily build ISO, or something like that. I installed it some weeks ago, and have been updating it every few days, and so far it's hanging together. If you can't fix it, I would advise you to get a new daily build ISO and reinstall it, then try again with ia32-libs -- as you can see above, it should be installable without "deb hell" grief.

      I already did a fresh install to try to resolve the problem. I had no trouble on an i386 system with Skype and GoogleEarth but on my AMD64 system it is a totally different story of deb-hell disaster. One trait that I noticed on my 64B system was with the NFS exports file. For the i386 system I can use the line
      Code:
      /home/aurora	192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
      whereas on my 64B system this does not work and I have to resort to
      Code:
      /home/aurora	192.168.1.3(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
      . I am therefore wondering if my problems are related to the dependencies for the 64B packages installed for nfs( and possibly ssh) as I install these before I deal with the ia32-libs installation.

      When I entered the commands that you used (BTW I fully up-date my system each morning after start-up.), I get the following output:
      Code:
      aurora@sybil:~$ sudo apt-cache policy ia32-libs

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

      If no updates fix this problem in the next couple of days I will probably install the i386 system on my 64B system. This approach is a rather retrograde step.

        I don't have apache installed on my system -- that seems to be involved in your dependency problem. Do you need it? Could you install ia32-libs first, then try installing apache afterward? Same idea with nfs, perhaps?

          Hi dibl, I downloaded the precise-desktop-amd64.iso for the 24th Feb and changed my repositories to what I showed in my post and then updated and installed Firefox. I tried once again to install the ia32-libs and the following shows the sorry sarga.

          As you can see, I decided to not proceed. At this stage I have not done anything else to my system and await your suggestions. At least apache is not being reported.

            The difference in results between your 64-bit system and mine can only be explained by the difference in our repository settings. I do not have the Canonical Partners repo enabled, and I do not have the Pre-Release updates enabled. Everything else is the same. So if you are willing to give it another go, (it might or might not require reinstalling the OS), I would advise to disable those settings, then try again to install ia32-libs first. If you have to reinstall, I would advise leaving the default repo settings, install ia32-libs as your very first new package (after running updates), and only after it is installed proceed with Firefox, nfs, and apache if you need it. Then you can carefully try to enable the Canonical Partners, run dist-upgrade, and see if it tries to rip out anything important. If that works, then next try enabling the Pre-Release updates, and once again try running dist-upgrade and see if it will do damage.

            I would suppose that the transition to multiarch, which is in progress, is the direct or indirect cause of this problem.

              Hi dibl,
              Looks I must be courting disaster with what I have selected. However, this morning I updated my system with my original settings and, from what was installed, it solved my deb-hell problem. I now have GoogleEarth and Skype successfully installed and all is working EXTREMELY WELL. The problem with the wild card export file on my 12.04 system not allowing access by my 11.10 system still exists and I will have to revert once again to specific IP's in my export file.

              If I run into further problems I will try removing the bleeding edge package options before I complain. Thanks for your help and responses to my problems.
