[Bug 1093819] Re: Wubi installed 12.10 amd64 without configuring i386

[Daniel Hartwig]

@ Wubi maintainers

Please triage this issue.  It seems the installed system did not have
i386 configured as foreign architecture which a regular 12.10 install
would have.

** Summary changed:

- ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable (i386 not configured)
+ Wubi installed 12.10 amd64 without configuring i386

** Description changed:

- ia32-libs-multiarch is i386 only.  Systems without i386 configured
- receive this error trying to install ia32-libs:
+ See report at
+ <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/1016294/comments/36>.
  
- > ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable
- 
- Of course, this is entirely a configuration issue: dpkg is not using
- i386.  In this report the system was installed using debootstrap, in
- comment #36 of bug 1016294, WUBI.
- 
- This is similar to bug 1016294, though many comments on that report
- indicate there are other dependency issues at play.  Keeping as a
- separate report.  Probably neither are a bug in ia32-libs per se.  Feel
- free to close, duplicate, or reassign to the various installers as
- appropriate.

+ User could not install ia32-libs-multiarch on a fresh amd64 install of
+ 12.10 using Wubi, due to i386 not being configured as a foreign
+ architecture.

  $ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  $ sudo apt-get update
