Package: libasound2-plugins
Version: 1.0.25-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tried installing libasound2-plugins:i386 in an amd64 system, and got
this error message:

-----

I searched for error messages like that online, and solutions like
apt-get clean or apt-get update didn't fix anything. When I tried
installing the dependencies manually, I get errors like these:
