I had a go with the above site using the powerful command: #dpkg --force-depends --force-architecture --force-overwrite -i to install the suggested libs: ia32-libs_1.19_amd64.deb lib32asound2_1.0.14a-1_amd64.deb lib32gcc1_4.2-20070609-1_amd64.deb lib32ncurses5_5.6-3_amd64.deb lib32stdc++6_4.2-20070609-1_amd64.deb lib32z1_1.2.3-15_amd64.deb libc6-i386_2.5-9_amd64.deb lsb-release_3.1-23.1_all.deb but this seriously wipes out most applications. I think in fact that site and those libs are out of date and the site should be taken down or updated, use it to your peril. -- C --

Anyway, I think the huge **WARNING** notes should have been enough to let you know the whole thing was not without risk ;) Regards, Angus
From: James Zuelow on 1 Mar 2010 14:30 I think I'll just wait for: aptitude -a amd64 --arch_upgrade Surely that's right around the corner...

I'm not confident that getting the upgrades for the listed libs is going to help.
