--- Comment #7 from Susan Cragin susancragin@gmail.com --- You are right that I didn't have the 386 packages. They must have been wiped out in an apt-get dist-upgrade. So I tried reactivating the 386 repos according to your instructions, and checking that my sources.list included the 386 packages.
$ sudo apt-get install libwine-development:i386 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: libwine-development:i386 : Depends: libxml2:i386 (>= 2.9.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So what used to work now does not, and I have no 386 packages.
So there's something funny in Debian-land. And this bug is probably invalid.
