Public bug reported:
Firstly, you should know that the bug reporting software did not work on
the target machine. I have therefore been forced to make this bug report
from a completely different machine, which means that the nicely
automatically packaged information will all be utterly useless to you.
The target machine is a freshly installed 16.04 64bit installation.
I did:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
after which:
$ sudo dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
$ sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
I installed various C packages:
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
and I can happily build things in both 64bit and 32bit modes. Yay!
Now, Ghostscript requires libcupsimage, but when I tried to build a
32bit ghostscript, I was told that libcupsimage was not found on the
system.
So I tried:
sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2-dev:i386
whereupon it uninstalled libcupsimage2-dev:amd64. Doing:
sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2-dev
uninstalled the 64bit version.
It looks like the 2 conflict:
artifex@kilometers:~$ sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2-dev
libcupsimage2-dev:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libcupsimage2-dev:i386 is already the newest version (2.1.3-4).
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcupsimage2-dev : Depends: libcupsfilters-dev (>= 1.0~b1) but it is not
going to be installed
Conflicts: libcupsimage2-dev:i386 but 2.1.3-4 is to be
installed
libcupsimage2-dev:i386 : Conflicts: libcupsimage2-dev but 2.1.3-4 is to be
installed
