Workaround: After trying the previously mentioned workaround, things were still broken, complaining about qdbus. So I did:
# If you have disabled multiarch by modifying /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch, you must re-enable it temporarily. The file should exist, and contain the line "foreign-architecture i386" (on my amd64 machine at least). apt-get update apt-get install qdbus # will remove qdbus:i386 and install qdbus # Disable /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch again - add a "#" at the beginning of the line it contains. aptitude update aptitude -f install # finally clean aptitude dist-upgrade # also happy again So this bug only affects people using 64 bit installs? I'd still like a better understanding of what my options are if I need to install 64 bit software. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831768 Title: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/831768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
