Hi,
you're right, my fault, sorry
I use gutsy, packages versions are:
ii googleearth-data 4.0.2735.0-0medibuntu4 Google Earth! -
Explore, Search and Discover - data files
ii ia32-libs 1.5ubuntu9 ia32 shared
libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems
ii ia32-libs-gtk 25 gtk+ ia32 shared
libraries for with OpenOffice.org
ii libc6-i386 2.5-5ubuntu1 GNU C Library:
