ia32-libs unable to install

#1 Post by nixguy »

Hello,

I am using debian sid amd64. I want to develop android apps, but i need to run the android emulator. For that i have to install ia32-libs.
This happens when I try to install

Code: Select all

root@debian:/home/victor# apt-get install ia32-libs

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-i386 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Package ia32-libs-i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'ia32-libs-i386' has no installation candidate
I downloaded ia32-libs-i386 and tried to install it with dpkg.

Code: Select all

root@debian:/home/victor/Downloads# dpkg -i ia32-libs-i386_20120701_i386.deb 
dpkg: error processing ia32-libs-i386_20120701_i386.deb (--install):
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ia32-libs-i386_20120701_i386.deb
Do you have any solution?

Thanks in advance,
victor

Thank you very much for help. I succesfully configured dpkg, but when i try to install ia32-libs it says that:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Is it OK to continue. I don't want so many i386 packages. Will this mess up the system. Will android emulator work after doing that?

You are running sid.
Test it and see.
If it doesn't work, try to figure out why and maybe file a bug report.
If it borks your system, restore from your backup.

UNABLE TO INSTALL:

I'm running testing. The packages ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk were ready to be upgraded. The new packages couldn't be installed. I thought I had to uninstall the installed versions first. I did it and I had to remove both Skype and GoogleEarth. Even naw, that I have them uninstalled I cannot install the new versions of ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk...

Isn't there any problem if I enable multiarch in order to install these packages? If I enable multiarch, install the new -multiarch packages and then I diasble multiarch, shall I receive upgrades for those packages? Shall I be able to install Skype and Googleearth again?

Thanks!

If you are using Wheezy, ia32-libs is deprecated, and you should consider migrating to multiarch :

Code: Select all

# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update
Then, you will be able to install 32-bit packages this way :

Code: Select all

# apt-get install package:i386
Anyway, ia32-libs is not really usable anymore with Wheezy…

Fully agree!!! Also, if I may tell You something, I suggest that You install wine (that one who's not an emulator :). Ithink their dependencies are more stablished and can install something needed in your system.

As I understand it, in Wheezy ia32-libs is a transitional package (similar to a metapackage) that pulls in a bunch of 32-bit libraries as dependencies when it is installed or updated. My understanding of multi-arch is that it makes dpkg aware of the 32-bit (or other architecture) packages you have installed so that packages from multiple architectures can co-exist on the same machine.

On my computer, ia32-libs package was not installable because of a broken dependency to libsvga1:i386. When I tried to install libsvga1:i386 I received the following error message: "trying to overwrite shared '/etc/vga/null.keymap', which is different from other instances of package libsvga1:i386".

After a lot of Googling, I found a suggestion to remove the /etc/vga/ folder and reinstall libsvga1:i386. I would suggest renaming the folder instead of uninstalling it. This seemed to fix the problem for me. Standard warning that messing around with system folders is dangerous, so use caution.

Hm! Alright, it's good news that ia32-libs is no longer needed. But unfortunately some applications seems to need them. At skype download page there is one only debian package available, called skype-multiarch!!! It seems that debian wiki has NOT been udated refering to skype.

It is impossible to install Skype after removing ia32-libs!!! Shall I open a new tread or we'll discuss it here? I think the same happends with GoogleEarth as well.

For temporary run skype from the static package? And install all the 32-bit libs it complains about manually.

There is no static package any more. It is now said dynamic, and cannot really find the difference. Anyway it returns me
./skype
./skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
but I cannot find any package that contains libXv.so.1 at all in Debian repositories!!!

Any idea?

Perhaps libxv1:i386 does the trick? :| Anyway it is just a suggestion. And sorry about my outdated skype information.

I tried to install Skype on my Debian Sid with multiarch enabled, couldn't be simpler (package downloaded from https://www.skype.com/) :

Code: Select all

dpkg -i skype-debian_*_i386.deb
apt-get install -f
It just works !

PS : No ia32-libs on my system.

I downloaded Skype from there : https://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype ... g.debian32

I'm running an amd64 system, with i386 enabled via multiarch.

Download, then :

Code: Select all

# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update
# dpkg -i skype-debian_*_i386.deb
# apt-get install -f

Hm, alright. So you are running multiarch. Alright, now that is explained. But unfortunately skype need some dozens of extra i386 packages in order to work! Anyway, there is no hope for native Skype 64bit installation until next release eh? And maye not even then.

In debian wiki page reffering to Skype it says
Skype also offers a amd64 package. However, this package depends on amd64 packages of i386 libraries (lib32*, ia32*) which will (hopefully) go away sooner or later.
Cool, but, why hopefully if that fact, means that there is no Skype 64bit support any more??? :shock:

I mean, I haven't yet understand what is the future of ....us, the 64x debian users and skype! Are we doomed to run multiarch systems -with all the undesirable issues it carries with it- in order to have Skype or GoogleEarth for example?

A variant on Phil's solution solved the problem for me in installing ia32-libs-i386 and ia32-libs-gtk-i386 in Wheezy:

- install ia32-libs-i386:i386
- rename /etc/vga folder
- get-apt -f install
- install ia32-libs-gtk-i386

to get read of the ia32 libs issue

>dpkg --purge ia32-libs
>dpkg --purge ia32-libs-i386
>dpkg --configure -a

Then cleanup your install
>apt-get -f install
>apt-get autoremove
