- All existing answers I found are for the pre-multiarch era (chroot)
- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch says it is OK to install i386 package on amd64 under the multiarch environment, but doesn't say how.
So, how to install i386 package on amd64 under the ubuntu/debian multiarch environment?
This is the follow-up for Why I can't see Ubuntu restricted packages, where the sl-modem-daemon
package doesn't have the amd64 but only i386 version in Ubuntu. Following https://askubuntu.com/questions/29665/how-do-i-apt-get-a-32-bit-package-on-a-64-bit-installation, I tried,
apt-get install sl-modem-daemon:i386
but still get the reply that package not found.
apt-get update
(if the package lists don't update automatically, which they might).dpkg -i --force-architecture
.
