Pipelight broken in Ubuntu Wily due to x64 libs

Wine contains a 32 bit part which needs the 32 bit versions of the libraries and a 64 bit part which needs 64 bit libraries. It won't help you if you have the 64 bit libraries when using 32 bit software / plugins in Wine.

Did you replace the PPA url so that it is pointing to the wily packages now? I would suggest to remove pipelight, re-add the repository and install pipelight again:

sudo apt-get remove pipelight-multi
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --update

OK Thank you 'll try that probably the upgrade from Velvet to Wily messed
things up, before I disabled the ppa, after I enabled it again, but I got
the impression that Pipelight is also doing something during or even before
this system upgrade (just after the upgrade command)

Hopefully the ppa-remove does not remove any system-wide dependencies, read
something about that.

OK followed your suggestions, no avail, same result.

Attached you find the output of the update plugin command, it notifies a
curious key-failure, and, more important, the output of the system check
with same failure again.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Got message my question is expired, very disappointing. I followed Michael Muller's suggestion and reported back.

Only information I can add is that pipelight is broken on all my systems upgraded to Wily, getting back the same failure results from the plug-in system check. I attached these results to my message as of 14th November, maybe that was not the right procedure. Output <pipelight-plugin --system-check> is too long, for now I repeat only the failure-lines: (note that these libs are NOT missing in Wily)

libnetapi.so: missing
ibva.so.1: missing
libva-drm.so.1: missing
libva-x11.so.1: missing
Libraries: FAILURE

There is no possibility to add attachments to a Launchpad answer document. This is why your information was never received.

Please provide the output of the following diagnostic commands:

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
sudo dpkg --audit
apt-cache policy pipelight-multi
dpkg -l | grep wine
dkpg -l | grep pipelight
dkpg -l | grep libva

(Maybe the solution to your problem is installing the 32bit libs for libnetapi and libva-* in addition to the 64bit version.
sudo apt-get install samba-dev:i386 libva1:i386 libva-drm1:i386 libva-x11-1:i386)

Thanks for quick response. Following is the output of your commands. The solution you suggest is only partly installabe, because in Wily x64, samba-dev:i386 meets impossible requirements

If you try

sudo apt-get install libva1:i386 libva-drm1:i386 libva-x11-1:i386

and then re-do the plugin check, do you still get the same missing libraries?

Just did the plug-in check, now only libnetapi.so: missing
Would like to re-install pipelight again, but have to go out now. will do
that later today

Re-installed pipelight, with all libraries except libnetapi.so -> no result.

Interestingly, I tried <wine-browser --no-pipelight --windowed> and after some required gecko installations, that worked: not within my regular firefox though, but under wine -> little bit too high cpu temps (50-60C instead of 30-40C)

According to http://askubuntu.com/questions/480638/pipelight-libraries-failure and https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+question/263373 the missing libnetapi.so library is a known issue, but should not do any harm and pipelight should work even without that library.

That part that I think is killing me is:
Checking libraries...
/usr/bin/pipelight-plugin: regel 420: 17229 Afgebroken "$PIPELIGHT_SHARE_PATH/wine64" --check-libs
Libraries: FAILURE

The links get added to the plugins dir, but firefox won't list them in about:plugins

Indeed, I suspect ubuntu firefox is the culprit by not listing the plugins. Obviously, the winebrowser version of firefox manages that listing appropriately. However, I don't want to use this winebrowser as default tv-watcher (in the Netherlands, we all wait for cable provider Ziggo to replace crazy silverlight with hlml5)

After re-installing pipelight again (always following the procedure suggested by Michael Muller) even the winebrowser does not render silverlight anymore, so I'm completely stuck.

Although only the libnetapi.so is missing, which seems not relevant, I have still one other failure message, about which Jason Straight from Canonical posted a possible explanation: firefox does not list the plug-ins in about:plugins.

The failure message is: Checking libraries...
/usr/bin/pipelight-plugin: regel 420: 16246 Afgebroken "$PIPELIGHT_SHARE_PATH/wine64" --check-libs
