Public bug reported: Good day, thank you for your hard work on Ubuntu! I am currently trying freshly installed 12.04 x86-64 (in virtualbox), and openjdk-7-jre:i386 fails to install:
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends openjdk-7-jre:i386 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.
