I installed ia32-libs and this went away, with out me having to restart, log out/in, or any of that. Maybe ia32-libs should be a dependency of this package?

[Erik B. Andersen (azendale)]

This still happens with the official release of 10.04.

[Anders Østhus (aosthus)]

Confirmed on my 10.04 x86_64 server box.

[Marianne Ibbotson (marianne)]

Also happens on my AMD64 machine running 10.04. ia32-libs had already been installed for the flash player, and I was trying to download the AMD64 client anyway. Origami won't let me try to change to i386 or smp clients, complaining that things are already installed. The thing won't actually start though, giving the error:
ERROR: UNABLE TO START LOCAL SERVICE.

This problem is still in Ubuntu 10.10.

This bug report is so old, I don't even remember what this package does.
