[Bug 868294] [NEW] multiarch - Update broke 64bit dependencies

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

After run the latest update applications that did depend on libstdc++.so.6 stop to work complaining that the shared library couldn't be open (no such file or directory). But if I try to instal it it says:
libstdc++6 is already the newest version.

It seems that the cause is related to multiarch support.
First I noticed that flash stop to work and than Android sdk wouldn't work as well saying that the libstdc++.so.6 wasn't a valid 64 bit application (before I did restart the computer, now it says it doesn't exist). When I try to reinstall flash i notice that it would try to install the 32 bits version and that libstdc++.so.6 was one of them...

I guess the multiarch is not really tested properly and it is breaking things that were working fine before, like flash and android sdk ...
I try to edit the file /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch and remove the foreign-architecture i386 entry but I still will have the same problem...

so i enabled the i386 again and ran:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer
Which did install the libstdc++.so.6 i386 and android sdk is working again ... I will have to restart the browser to check about flash...

Well, my guess is that the update broke the links...
