Package: googleearth-package
Version: 1.2.2dima1
Severity: grave
Hi. I'm installing googleearth on a recent Debian/sid on amd64. Clearly
I need to have the i386 foreign arch enabled. It'd be nice if the
install explicitly told unsuspecting users this, but whatever.
The generated package Depends:lbs-core even though this package is no
longer a part of Debian. Removing this, I can make a googleearth package
that I can install.
At that point I can't run the application though. To make it work, I
needed to
1. install libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libqt4-network:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386
libglu1-mesa:i386
This list is likely incomplete; it's just what I was missing
2. The i386 linker the application requires is /lib/ld-lsb.so.3. This
presumably lived in lsb-core at one point, but it no longer does. I
can fake it with
sudo ln -fs /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
Then I can run googleearth. I'm not sure what the best way is to provide
the linker. Is this worth fixing? Is there some other googleearth build
that we should be using instead?
