using dpkg to install packages for wrong architecture
This is ok if u have an amd64 processor because AMD has made it compatible with older 32bit software. But how do I do it?
debian:/home/sc# dpkg -i openoffice.org-bin_1.1.4-7.0.1_i3864.deb --force architecture dpkg: error processing openoffice.org-bin_1.1.4-7.0.1_i3864.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) dpkg: error processing --force (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing architecture (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: openoffice.org-bin_1.1.4-7.0.1_i3864.deb --force architecture I tried it with a hythen between the force and architecture as well doesn't work. |
Have you checked the checksums and made sure you got a complete correct download?
'dpkg --force-architecture -i <package>' should work. Why not compile from source? -twantrd |
yeah it worked fine thanks
