I have installed the server image of 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa).

My 64-bit database product from IBM requires a 32-bit library for compatibility reasons , but this 32-bit library is not found when I apt-get install libpam0g:i386.

(This 32-bit compatibility library was available on 18.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS).

The package name is 'libpam0g:i386'.
This is what I see:

# apt-get update

It seems that for ubuntu 20.04 the libpam0g:i386 is renamed to libpam_systemd:i386

The following command worked for me, and delivered the 32-bit library that I needed:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt install libpam-systemd:i386

==============

At first I tried manual installation of libpam0g:i386 , and it also worked but with more steps for manual dependency handling. Not recommended.

copy libpam0g_1.3.1-5ubuntu4_i386.deb
from https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/i386/libpam0g-dev/download
to the target server.

The target server has no X server (is headless), so in an ssh session:

apt update



dpkg --add-architecture i386



apt install libaudit1:i386



apt install libc6:i386



dpkg --install libpam0g_1.3.1-5ubuntu4_i386.deb

This installed the dependencies first, then the required libpam0g:i386, and the IBM software accepted this. Much easier to use apt install libpam-systemd:i386 because that delivered the dependencies automatically.
