After force-installing a 32-bit deb failed, how can I install the 64-bit version?
- by TryTryAgain
I tried to dpkg -i --force-architecture google-earth-stable_i386.deb and it failed.
But now when I try to install the amd64.deb it fails saying
dpkg: error processing google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb
(--install): google-earth-stable: 6.2.2.6613-r0 (Multi-Arch: no) is
not co-installable with google-earth-stable:i386 6.2.2.6613-r0
(Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed Errors were encountered
while processing: google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb
somehow it thinks the i386 version is installed. No google-earth files or directories even exist.
sudo dpkg --configure -a
outputs:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of
google-earth-stable:i386: google-earth-stable:i386 depends on
lsb-core (= 3.2). dpkg: error processing google-earth-stable:i386
(--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were
encountered while processing: google-earth-stable:i386
so it does exist in some capacity.
sudo apt-get -f install
does nothing out of the ordinary:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading
state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove
and 10 not upgraded.
The weird thing is that synaptic doesn't show any google earth package available let alone installed, nothing under the broken filter either.
I have also tried sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean
So, my question: How can I get rid of this issue?
