NwFermi Support for Saucy (13.10)

[Mario Hoffmann]

I want to ask if Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy will be supportet ?

I try'ed to install the lastest Version (0.6.5) but the Package require ia32-libs. But ia32-libs is removed at Saucy.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0

E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate

i installed the Packages lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 and removed the dependences from the deb file.

But i still get following Error Message

I am having the same issue.

Any word on how to fix this or a work around to get it installed?

Also having the same issue...looks like there's no folder in the repository for saucy (or for the last several releases, for that matter). []
