There's definitely something strange going on here, and I'm wondering how many dependencies are affected. Furthermore, is this just a package naming problem, or is there something a little more strange going on?
I'm running a fresh 64-bit installation of oneiric. I have libc6-i386 installed, which seems by the previous post as though it actually contains the amd64 version of the package. But, for me it puts a link called libc.so.6 into /lib32, and puts nothing in /lib64. When I tried to install a program which needed libc.so.6 (in my case, Matlab), it looked for it in /lib64. (I took the easy way out and just made a symlink in /lib64, seems to work for now.) Also, when I try to install libc6-amd64, I get either some cryptic error messages saying that I need libraries in the versions which I have or else I get a "no candidate package to be installed" message. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876650 Title: Package libc6-dev-i386 incorrectly named libc6-dev-amd64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/876650/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
