v ia32-libs-i386 on Wheezy
For a program that I want to install on my husband's computer, I need the following virtual package: v ia32-libs-i386 On my Wheezy computer it is installed, but it is not on my husband's Wheezy computer, and aptitude search can't find it. Here is his sources.list: deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free deb http://mozilla.debian.net wheezy-backports iceweasel-release deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free deb http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main deb http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main Help!

Did you add i386 as an architecture on that computer? The package ia32-libs-i386 is a package that is only built on i386 to support transitions from Squeeze or older to Wheezy-style multiarch (it's not part of Jessie anymore, because it's transitional) - and if you didn't activate i386 in your system, then it won't find the package. (And any package referenced by other packages are always shown as virtual packages by APT if they can't be found as real packages.) Simple way to add the architecture: dpkg --add-architecture i386 Alternatively, look at the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/arch, it should contain two lines in your case: amd64 i386 dpkg --add-architecture adds things to this file.
