I am finding that getting libgtk2.0-0:i386 installed on my Wheezy 64bit system is non-trivial.

Here's what I'm seeing:

Code: [Select]

root@debian:/home/user# apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

If I try to manually install libcups2:i386 here's what I get:

I don't think this is what I want to do. Any suggestions?

The error message (E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages) suggests your system is currently in the midst of a failed upgrade. Are you? aptitude often gives better error messages so perhaps see what aptitude install says will give you a pointer.

To see held packages you can use

dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

[mcollier]

Thanks for the suggestion.  I am not in the middle of a failed upgrade.

dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

produces no results.

I had previously run 'apt-get clean' to address that issue as well.

It looks like the conflicting packages to be removed in your second quote are almost exclusively from the gnome group/metapackage or are from gnome's family of dependencies.  Are you running a backport or custom build of a more modern version of Gnome (i.e. >3.4)?  Or maybe some other backports?  That can sometimes create these kinds of issues when the backport has newer dependencies which conflict with the "stable" dependencies.  If that's not the issue, I assume you've tried the obvious things like updating your package lists using "upgrade" or "dist-upgrade"?  

FWIW, I just did an install of Debian Jessie/testing 64-bit on my server last week, and I had no problems installing the dependencies for both gnome and mc.   I'm not suggesting a re-install as a solution for you necessarily, but rather to note that with fully updated package lists and dependencies I was able to install the referenced lib, and everything was able to coexist with no problems on a 64-bit Debian build (albeit not Wheezy).

Maybe somebody who is running Wheezy with Gnome can weigh in?
