Summary0002503: Kali 2.0 - Missing ia32-libs in Repository
Description

Hello Folks,

Currently the ia32-libs package does not seem to exist in the repositories. This is, of course, using the 64-bit installation.

This package is useful to me, possibly others.

Thanks,
James

Install Kali 2.0 from DVD
dpkg --add-architecture i386

apt-get install ia32-libs

The package ia32-libs is gone since a long time in favor of proper multi arch support.

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install foo:i386

ia32-libs was a hack of before multiarch existed. Now you can directly install the i386 libraries that you need for stuff (like Skype).
