The other one being apt not resolving these dependencies the way I expected it to. Unlike you, Sven understood the question immediately and unlike you, he gave an appropriate answer. I filed a bug report against mate-terminal. Problem solved.However, did you actually test that it would happen? Would installing the multiarch version give you two xterms or would the last one installed overwrite the first? Could you simply remove the second menu item if one did in fact show up? Did you try removing the mate version of xterm before installing the one steam prefers?What does it have to do with my initial question about dependencies resolving ? Stop trying to justify yourself and just admit you were gratuitously rude to someone you mistook for a newbie.There is an old saying that it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. If you want to report a bug, report it. If you want a solution to a problem, ask for help. I'd like to find out what happens if you try the solutions that I have suggested. I've got multiple terminals on my setup and it's never bothered me. I use the one I like most. That's a nice thing about Linux. But you apparently feel differently. That's also your choice. Has your bug report been addressed yet?
I thought that was a feature, where you can just download all the things for free. You all made me look. I have installed:
Gnome Term 1155k XFCE Term 1559k Xterm 1750kFor what I pay the packagers, I can live with it. I think the points Dale raised were not disrespectful in any way. Maybe multiarch pulled in a 32bit xterm? That is quite possible. You would need one ya know, running 32bit apps one of them, like steam, would probably demand it. Just checked, steam does. But you already knew that. :) Ric
