The initial issue was not being able to build a 32-bit version of wine from source on a 64-bit computer because wine needed both libfreetype- dev package for i386 and amd64 flavour.
I followed http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildingBiarchWineOnUbuntu guide and it fully works, neither errors nor headaches ;) But if I try to install libfreetype6-dev:i386, I still have to uninstall libfreetype6-dev (:amd64) among other packages : alex@leon:~$ sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev:i386 [sudo] password for alex: Reading package lists...

[Y/n] ^C I just read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec and in the "Unresolved issues" section, there is a "Co-installable -dev packages " entry which means this bugs is normal since no one agreed on what to do in this case. Maybe renaming this bug into "[Mutiarch] Find a way to co-install -dev packages" would better describe it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990982 Title: [Multiarch] libfreetype6-dev:i386 dependencies issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/990982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
