Trying to install the 32bit Samba libraries for a compile of Wine for some regression testing. Stuck in dependency hell:

Code:

kernel  ~  sudo apt install samba-libs:i386 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done 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.

Lots of stuff depends on python, removing it would be a headache:

Code:
