Hi,
I wanted to install a program that has no 64 bit version on a 64 bit Trisquel
install. I read that this was possible. I followed the instructions here:
http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-a-32bit-program-in-64bit-ubuntu since I
couldn't find Trisquel specific instructions. I ran:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
This returned errors and now I have a red circle with a horizontal white line
on the right side of the bottom bar on the GUI. When I click on it, it says:
------------
An error occurred. Please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or
apt-get from a terminal to see what is wrong.
The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your
installed packages have unmet dependencies.
-----------
At this point I would like to fix whatever I broke. I have tried several
things explained below, but nothing has fixed the problem yet. Does anyone
know how I can fix this?
Thank you.
What I have done so far:
I have run Synaptic Package Manager. On starting the following error pops up:
-----------
You have 10 broken packages on your system!
Use the "Broken" filter to locate them.
-----------
I went to edit > fix broken packages. Apply. The following error is shown:
-----------

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

a solution).
I have also tried:
