Public bug reported: This is a regression. Prior versions of Ubuntu allowed the 32 bit and 64 bit libnss-winbind library to co-exist on the same system.
$ apt-get install libnss-winbind: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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libnss-winbind:i386 : Depends: winbind:i386 (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed Depends: samba-libs:i386 (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. This is important as 32 bit binaries running on a 64 bit system can still access NSS services and must still be able to load the nss-winbind plugin. The same comment applies to PAM as well, but I have no 32 bit apps using PAM so it isn't as interesting.... ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315562 Title: libnss-winbind should allow installation of the 32 bit libarary in trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1315562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
