Package: gdebi Version: 0.9.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
On a default 64-bit Debian installation support for 32-bit packages is not enabled, that is 'dpkg --print-foreign-architectures' returns nothing. So when a user gets a 32-bit package and opens it in gdebi the only result is: Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' This then leaves it up to the user to search the web and struggle with the command line to figure out how to enable support for 32-bit packages. So it would be much better if gdebi provided a simple way to do so. This would likely end up running something like 'sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 ; sudo apt-get update' behind the scenes (note that the 'apt-get update' is necessary to get that architecture's list of packages so dependencies can then be resolved). -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdebi depends on: ii gdebi-core 0.9.1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.8.4-1 ii gir1.2-vte-2.90 1:0.34.8-1 ii gksu 2.0.2-6 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.8.3-1 ii python 2.7.5-5 ii python-gi 3.8.2-1 Versions of packages gdebi recommends: ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.247-2+b1 ii shared-mime-info 1.0-1+b1 gdebi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
