Hi Florian, I think I have a rough idea of what mutliarch is, as I actually use it daily, and I have never had problems with it :) I have an amd64 devuan installation, with plenty of :i386 libraries, most of them needed by applications pre-compiled for i386 (one of these is skype, unfortunatel, the only non-free package I have to use, besides firmware-iwlwifi). Just to make an example: katolaz@akela:~$ dpkg -l | grep zlib | cut -d " " -f 1-3 ii zlib1g:amd64 ii zlib1g:i386 ii zlib1g-dev:amd64 katolaz@akela:~$ That's why I guessed that your problem with the installation of libgtkhtml might be related with a known glitch in amprolla, which causes some upgdates to be erroneously disregarded. For the time being, your problem might (or might not) possibly be solved by adding the jessie-backports repository from Debian in your sources.list, which has worked for me in resolving other issues with mismatching package versions.
