Cannot install both 32 and 64 bit versions of libwxGTK3

[Enryfox]

Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit fresh upgrade from 15.10.

I have installed the 64 bit version of wxWidgets packages but I also need the 32 bit version; I cannot install libwxGTK3.0:i386 as it requires to uninstall most of ubuntu packages. The conflict is related to libgl0-mesa package: 64/32 bit versions of the library cannot coexist.

Only wxbase library can be installed both x86_64 and i386, but I need the GUI libraries.

in Ubuntu 15.10 the two versions could be installed with no conflicts.

Moreover it is also not possible to install 32 bit dev packages on a Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit installation.

I don't see the problem when just trying to install the shared libraries:

I opened this bug 5 months ago; in the meantime I have moved to Debian and left Ubuntu for good.

Maybe the conflicts were solved with a later package update, but back when I first installed ubuntu 16.04, it did not work; I needed to have runtime libraries for both 64 and 32 bit plus dev packages for 32 bit only. It did not work and I could not wait days or weeks to have it fixed.
It was the proverbial straw and I moved away from Ubuntu.

Close the bug if you think it is fixed, I honestly do not care any longer.

thanks
bye
