[Bug 859188] Re: can't apt-get install --reinstall when foreign-arch version is present (E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-glx)

[Alfagulf]

I seem to have passed this issue by removing the :i386 version of the two application from the system.
I don't know if that was wise or not, but I was so desperate, I didn't care!!

 I did:
sudo apt-get remove libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

  Hi, I wanted to reinstall  libgl1-mesa-glx because I cannot run KDE4.7.1 and synaptic and also apt-get using konsole gives me this:
  "E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-glx"
  It seems the package is not avaliable, right?
  Thanks
