ia32-apt-get doesn't create ia32 package list
it seems that ia32-libs is replaced with ia32-apt-get (which conflicts with it at the moment), but it doesn't seem to create the ia32 library list. I'm trying to get acroread working again and as a start it is complaining that libxml2 is missing but with the current state of ia32-apt-get it doesn't seem to be installable. Any ideas on how to fix things? I really need it for a talk tomorrow thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You *might* be able to fix stuff if you downgrade relevant packages to testing/squeeze. I really need it for a talk tomorrow Are you using *unstable* for a production system?

You *might* be able to fix stuff if you downgrade relevant packages to testing/squeeze. I really need it for a talk tomorrow Are you using *unstable* for a production system? Of course. Stable is way too old for a desktop/laptop and my personal experience with testing is that it breaks a lot more often than unstalble and stays broken for a lot longer when it does. Appart for things that were my fault playing with seriously experimental stuff unstable broke on me maybe once in the last several years, and I like things updating often ... I also develop cutting edge things and thus depend quite a bit on cutting edge features.

You *might* be able to fix stuff if you downgrade relevant packages to testing/squeeze. I downgraded some packages to testing (ia32-libs, gcc, gcc libs, libc6, libc6-i386, a few other random libraries) and now everything including gcc -m32 works again. I really need it for a talk tomorrow Are you using *unstable* for a production system? Normally works fine of course, but obviously problems can and occasionally do crop up (this ia32-apt-get thing was _seriously_ botched), so doing an upgrade a day before an important talk is not a very good idea... :/ -Miles -- [|nurgle|] ddt- demonic? so quake will have an evil kinda setting? one that will make every christian in the world foamm at the mouth?
