What is the planned status of Multiarch support in 11.10? In AMD64 Alpha 1, I attempted to install the i386 google chrome package using dpkg. The install failed citing architecture mismatches, Is support for this kind of install planned or am I missing something?
Have you tried installing the 32-bit libraries?
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
If that's installed, then navigate to the Chrome .deb package and use (to force installation):
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i <name-of-package>.deb
And if things aren't working at first, try re-configuring the package manager:
sudo apt-get install -f
Or...
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Alternatively, you can just install the native 64-bit Chrome package from here at Google.
Just remember that Oneiric is still in Alpha, many things can go wrong; don't be surprised if it doesn't work initially!
