libecj-java:i386 for 16.04

Asked by Yuri Gor

Hi, i am trying to

> apt-get install libecj-java:i386

but get

> Reading state information... Done
Package libecj-java:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libecj-java:i386' has no installation candidate

I need i386 version it to make webex run desktop sharing. I need to install gcc-snapshot:i386 but it depends on libecj-java:i386

I found this package in 15.04 release
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/i386/libecj-java/3.10.1-1

How can i get all this done? Should i add vivid repos to my xenial source list?

http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libecj-java

Shows it as "all" so it will work with both 64bit and 32bit.

Thank you, libecj-java was installed already, and gcc-snapshot without i386 was too, but webex needs i386.
Anyway i made webex work in another manner, so for now my question is no longer relevant.

Thank you guys.

If anybody like me look for the way to make webex desktop share work in 16.04 - i used this

http://askubuntu.com/a/363400

but replaced 'openjdk-7-jre' to 'openjdk-8-jre' and 'icedtea-7-plugin' to icedtea-8-plugin
