Greetings,
On the subject of multiarch breaking on x86_64 (which I knew aptitude had/has issues with, didn't realise apt-get did),
apt-get doesn't break. However, the instructions are: $ sudo apt-get install dselect $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.packages $ sudo dselect This is what is potentially problematic. So, our solution was (as per MJ Ray's suggestion) to: $ ./ubuntu-packages.sh -ic ... [something about copy and paste this command ] .... sudo apt-get install ... [list generated from ubuntu.{VERSION}.packages ] $ See bug 8840 for more details. GPML, Mark Tompsett
