I found this problem trying to isntall the skype package (from skype website) and the flashplugin-installer package from the Ubuntu repository. I am using Ubuntu Karmic on a dual Xeon workstation, Dell box with nVIDIA graphics card.
I removed all the nvidia packages, and then the skype and flashplugin- installer packages loaded, then I reloaded the nvidia packages -- I am using the 185 series. It all now seems to work. The upshot is that there seems to be a conflict between the ia32-libs package and the nvidia packages. Thanks for posting the bug report, it helped me a lot :-) though I wish there wasn't the problem in the first place! -- package ia32-libs (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: unable to create `/usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa.dpkg-new' (while processing `./usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2'): No such file or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
