Description Aurélien 2016-05-02 09:55:53 UTC 
Hi,
I have a problem with libc6:i386 when i try to do ./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-win32.cdc

In fact, this package isn't in squeeze or jessie repositories.

I had to replace libc6:i386 by libc6-i386 in cerbero/bootstrap/linux.py.
Comment 1 Aurélien 2016-05-02 09:57:04 UTC 
So i had to do dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update and it's works!
Thanks Tim!
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-05-02 11:11:43 UTC 
Thanks for confirming.

bootstrap: add check for i386 architecture when needed in debian

Considering people (including myself) have been bitten by this, how
about this patch to make cerbero output a meaningful error message
instead of erroring out inside apt-get commands?

Not sure how to do the same for other distros, though.
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-05-03 12:30:01 UTC 
I'm all for it! :)
Comment 5 Thiago Sousa Santos 2016-05-03 18:35:12 UTC 
Great, this should make what to do clear to (debian) users.
