LinuxMint 17, can not install ia32-libs

[detrix42]

Anyone else having problems installing ia32-libs? I have added the i386 architecture, and still not installing. I need them for the Android SDK tools.

[Monsta]

What does "not installing" mean? Any error messages?

Also post the output of:

inxi -Sr

Code: Select all

apt policy ia32-libs

[detrix42]

Sorry for the shortness of the Question. When I tried to install ia32-libs, apt wants to uninstall the 64bit libs, and all apps that use them. Its either 64bit libs or 32bit libs, I can't seem to get both which I had no problems with getting with Linux Mint 16. I will now try your other suggestions.

Here is the inxi output:

Does this mean only amd64 packages???

[Monsta]

Did you try to upgrade from Mint 16 to 17? You have the wrong sources list.
Run Software Sources and choose any mirror there to correct it.

[jahid]

What do you mean by "adding i386 architecture"?

I haven't added anything, just installed ia32-libs and it worked without any problem.

[ecthelion]

Hi, I'm there with the same problem.

When I try to install ia32-libs, apt tries to uninstall some 64 bit packages without replacement:

I have to add libcupsimage2:i386 libcupsfilters1:i386 like dependencies.

This is important for me to install Google Earth and Zimbra Desktop

My system is Linux Mint 17 Mate

Sorry for my poor english

[Monsta]

Your repositories look alright, but I suspect some PPAs might get in the way if they contain 32-bit packages (e.g. Wine PPA).
You might try disabling all the PPAs and the external repos and then installing ia32-libs again.
