dssi-vst is only available for 32bit systems in 12.04, so even if it was installable it wouldn't work.

the 11.10 package works though:

No, 12.04 has multiarch support so the i386 program could work. The issue is that the resolver is choosing the libjack-jackd2-0:i386 solution over the libjack0:i386 solution.

Yes, but in order for dssi-vst to work in such cases, one would need a DAW/Host that is also 32bit/multilib.

I have this problem too: trying to install liblo7:i386 removes liblo7:amd64. It looks to me like the liblo package is not multiarch aware. I think I've used a 32-bit dssi-vst with a 64-bit jack before.
