Broken packages after upgrade to precise
During the upgrade I had a power failure. After running an apt-get dist-upgrade, everything seems to work except I have a few broken packages:

| James Cowgill (jcowgill) said : | #3 |
It still happens
try:
sudo apt-get --purge remove libsoup-
You are running a 64bit OS so it seems weird you have 32bit packages installed.
| James Cowgill (jcowgill) said : | #5 |
Ok, after doing this:
sudo apt-get --purge remove libsoup-
It seems to have solved it.
| Sergei Genchev (sgenchev) said : | #6 |
Same problem. It is not weird to have 32bit packages installed. you need 32bit libraries to run 32bit applications in 64 bit OS. Many 3rd party apps are 32 bit only: Citrix is the one I use but there are plenty of others.
metapackage ia32-libs is not installable currently.
