[Ken Sharp]

eatmydata saves a lot of time when building i386 packages, but it is not installable on Jammy i386.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 eatmydata : Depends: libeatmydata1 (>= 130-2build1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

apt-mark showhold reports nothing is being held.

The package is available from the archives so I don't know what is causing this.

# apt install libeatmydata1

Package libeatmydata1 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

I downloaded https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libeatmydata1_130-2build1_i386.deb and installed it with dpkg, and then eatmydata installed.

Looks like the i386 package hasn't been uploaded to the archive for Jammy (it's there for Noble).
