When encountering this kind of problems, it helps apt if you add all packages listed to the command line, until you see the real problem. In my build chroot, it looks like this: (pbuild25746-sid/i386)root@tglase:/# apt-get install gcc-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: gcc-9-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 : Depends: binutils-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 (>= 2.34) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64 (>= 9.3.0-13cross1) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Then I add the packages: (pbuild25746-sid/i386)root@tglase:/# apt-get install gcc-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 binutils-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64 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 E: Package 'libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64' has no installation candidate So we see that the package libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64 does not exist in Debian. There is the bug. (Also, why can’t it use libgcc-9-dev:i386? Really…) Go bother the GCC maintainer… bye, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually.
