[Bug 1189494] Re: cannot intall any ia32 libs because libgraphite2-3:i386 is broken

[paul milam]

I am having the exact same issue. What caused it was that I installed
Packet Tracer 6.0, and one of the steps was to install sudo apt-get
install ia32-libs-gtk. Now all the dependencies are broken and I am not
able to install or uninstall anything. I am unable to delete the
libgraphite.deb files and cannot install any updates. The only help I
found was to run:

sudo apt-get -f install

All my applications work and I am able to use the OS, but no updates and
I cannot install any new software.

Ubuntu 13.04
amd64
gnome 3.8
I do have the gnome3 ppa enabled as well.

Title:
  cannot intall any ia32 libs because libgraphite2-3:i386 is broken

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When install any :i386 package I get this:

  Depends: libgtk2.0-0:i386 (>= 2.24.0) but it is not going to be installed
  Depends: libpango1.0-0:i386 (>= 1.14.0) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  If I walk down the dependency tree, I get to libgraphite2-3 which
  aptitude gives this error:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgraphite2-3 : Conflicts: libgraphite2-3:i386 but 1.2.1-1 is to be installed.
  libgraphite2-3:i386 : Conflicts: libgraphite2-3 but 1.2.1-1 is installed.

  This stops just about any ia32 install like vmware-view-client and
  crossover.
