Google Earth still depends on ia32-libs

[Graham Inggs]

I tried installing Google Earth on Ubuntu Saucy 64-bit, but it depends on ia32-libs which no longer exists.
Maybe we need to keep the ia32libs package around for another release?

also Teamviewer has the same problem...

The googleearth-package package in the saucy archive outputs a binary package with a dependency on ia32-libs-multiarch. This is wrong, and needs to be fixed in the google earth packaging. ia32-libs will *not* be brought back.

This is not true. You should be installing an i386 .deb of teamviewer.

This problem has been solved in googleearth-package 1.0.1 which is available in Debian Sid.

Please inform me if you have any additional comments or questions.

Andrian, even after installing the latest version of googleearth-package from sid (http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/g/googleearth-package/googleearth-package_1.0.1_all.deb) in Ubuntu 13.10, the resulting googleearth_6.0.3.2197+1.0-1_amd64.deb file still depends on ia32 libs.

[Adnan Hodzic (fooctrl)]

That's because Google Earth does really depend on ia32-libs.

Application won't work without this dependency, theoretically there's a way
to isolate only the particular ia32-libs that are used by Google Earth. But
I'm afraid this would take too much time and effort.

Google Earth (googleearth-package) works just fine on both Sid and Jessie,
if you have any suggestion on what dependency should I make it instead of
"ia32-libs" on Ubuntu please do.

Regards,

Adnan

Running:
ldd /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin | sed "s/ =>.*/$/g" | xargs -n1 apt-file -x search | grep "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" | sed "s/:.*/:i386/g"

Gives a complete list of the packages used by Google Earth at install time. Can you incorporate it into the packaging script? The only difficulty occurs when two packages provide a libraries with the same name, for example: primus-libs:i386 and libgl1-mesa-glx:i386.

Thank you for your comment, I'll make necessary changes to the package ASAP.

Will notify you once I've done so.

This problem has been resolved in googleearth-package 1.1.0 which is currently in Debian Sid.

[Adam Niedling (krychek)]

I was able to install Google Earth 64-bit on Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit.

[Mathieu Marquer (slasher-fun)]

Fixed in version 1.1.0 (see release notes), so marking as fix released.
