I cannot install Google Earth afterthe latest update on 12.04. It freezes at the "Terminal, gdebi-gtk" pop-up, and goes no further. I had Google Earth installed and working fine, until yesterday's update, but then it disappeared, and required a re-install, with the results as previously stated.

[Expired for gdebi (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

got this error while trying to install crossover which got broken with ia32 lib

[Jaydip Guha (guha-jaydip)]

The error pops up very often and tries to reinstall the broken packages, kind of annoying, I think I will uninstall gdebi
