multiarch broken?
Hello!
My system is a debian wheezy amd64 with multiarch enabled since I
installed eagle (i386 only) some time ago. I also had teamviewer (i386)
installed. The system was up to date most of the time.
Some days ago I tried to install a locally build version (build in a
i386 chroot environment) of wine 1.7.35, which didn't work because of
some unmet ia32 dependencies. The apt-get output suggested to fix the
problem with 'apt-get -f install'. Luckily I was able to cut&paste the
output into a text file.... X-(
This command uninstalled almost the complete Xorg and Gnome packages.
Because of my log, I was able to reinstall the removed packages. But I
was still unable to install the homemade wine because of some strange
dependencies with libncurses5.
I now decided to use playonlinux and installed this package together
with the debian wine and wine64-bin package (amd64 versions). After
installing a wine 32 bit version with playonlinux, I was asked to
install wine:i386. And now it started all over... I'm getting the unmet
dependency messages again. But now 'apt-get -f install' did nothing...
Now I tried to fix the problem and removed all installed i386 packages
(eagle, teamviewer ...) and did a 'dpgk --remove-achitecture i386'.
After an 'apt-get update' and an 'dpgk --remove-achitecture i386' I
tried to reinstall playonlinux with it's dependencies. And I also tried
to reinstall eagle...

....
It seems that some of the amd64 and i386 packages are available in
different versions, which causes the conflicts..
I don't know how to fix this except perhaps by reinstalling my
system.... so any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance
