Ok. So here are my woes. Apparently the mute-donkeys at Canonical decided to remove the comfortable package ia32-libs (necessary to run 32 bits programs in linux 64 bits), and instead expect everything to run through multiarch...  And everything that doesnt run on that to be repurposed. If not, you have to install the libraries by hand.


Is there any way to get around this piece of crap?!?!?!?! Seriously, it's astonishing the amount of programs that simply don't run now on linux, and you have to install the i386 libs one by one AS THEY GIVE ONE ERROR MESSAGE AFTER ANOTHER. It's the singlest, most annoying thing that these guys have done, and makes ubuntu far less user-friendly and more undesirable.

Is there any way to get around this that I have missed somehow? Really, it's effing ridiculous.
