[Bug 1851307] Re: package libmspack0:i386 0.5-1ubuntu0.16.04.4 failed to install/upgrade: package libmspack0:i386 is already installed and configured

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in ubuntu.

It's unclear why this error happened. May I suggest you run the
following to see if that fixes it:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install

You could also try to reinstall the libmspack package:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libmspack0:i386

I just deployed a fresh xenial container, which btw already had
libmspack0 installed, but for the amd64 arch. I then added i386, and
installed libmspack0:i386, and that worked flawlessly:

root at x1:~# dpkg --add-architecture i386
root at x1:~# apt-get update
(...)
root at x1:~# apt-get install libmspack0:i386

Pending more information to help reproduce this issue, I'll switch the bug status to "incomplete".
