Well, I have spent most of the day trying to return my Trisquel to the way it
was before I tried installing the ia32-libs. I think the solution must be to
remove the broken packages manually, but I am wary of screwing things up
further, since I understand these same named packages already exist with my
64 bit install. I am afraid if I try to remove them one by one I may end up
removing the 64 bit ones.
As things stand, Trisquel still runs (I have not tried to restart yet) but I
cannot do any updates or install any new packages.
Any pointers would be highly appreciated. I am a rookie at GNU/Linux and I am
afraid to start tinkering and make the system unusable.
Thanks!
