Hi Steve, Thanks for your prompt response.
Running dpkg fixed the issue (apt-get install libgconf-2-4:i386 still resulted in some version conflict) Subsequent apt-get -f install ran successfully and so upgrading new packages. System is now back to normal. Only thing is, I have one desktop (64bit) and two Laptops (64bit and 32bit) with identical configurations (oneconf & software center) the 64bits are clean installs (not upgrades) This issue appeared only on my Desktop for some reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953404 Title: ia32-libs in precise is missing libgconf-2-4:i386 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/953404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
