** Description changed: 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 + dpkg --add-architecture i386 after which: - $ sudo dpkg --print-architecture - amd64 - $ sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures - i386 + $ sudo dpkg --print-architecture + amd64 + $ sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures + i386 I installed various C packages: - sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib + 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 + sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2-dev:i386 whereupon it uninstalled libcupsimage2-dev:amd64. Doing: - sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2-dev + sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2-dev - uninstalled the 64bit version. + uninstalled the 32bit 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.
