Hi list,
I'm trying to install the NVidia binary package in Debian wheezy from
wheezy-backports on a 64bit system — which went fine. I've added multiarch:
> % dpkg --print-architecture
> amd64
>
> % dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
> i386
But if I try to install the 32 bit compatibility package from multiarch…
> % aptitude install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-kernel-dkms:i386

The same if I try to install any other part of the NVidia driver. For example:
> % aptitude install -t wheezy-backports libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
> The following NEW packages will be installed:
> libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386{b}

Needless to say, I'm not keen on deinstalling the 64bit variants of these
packages. The -ia32 variants of the packages (for example
libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32) fail with similar error messages.
As far as I know, these problems don't exist in jessie, and all my Googling got
me to jessie results, or to wheezy w/o backports. Is there a way to install
without a dist-upgrade (or pinning) to jessie?
Thanks!
A.
