Public bug reported: Attempting to install flashplugin-installer:i386 on an amd64 machine running Ubuntu 12.10 causes apt-get to return the following error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies. flashplugin-installer:i386 : Depends: update-notifier-common:i386 (>= 0.119ubuntu2) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. apt-get is apparently trying to install update-notifier-common:i386, but update-notifier-common is or architecture 'all', which I assume is an error in the packaging of flashplugin-installer. This is an issue with the Steam client which requires the i386 flashplayer library, and this problem forces one to install it by hand. See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/36 .
