[SOLVED] Need 32-bit library for to download files from internet?

[tetrastes]

I think that this command installs packages corresponding to the distro with all dependencies, am I not right?

[MarkMLl]

Yes, but OP stated that for his Ubuntu release there wasn't a 32-bit version of the library he needed formally packaged i.e. as a .apt (accessible by apt-get etc.). I'm inclined to accept that he's done his homework (if not, it's his problem :-)

When one starts looking at pool storage one sees the underlying .deb packages, and in particular their true names, which might extrapolate to .apts... but at that point one has to be careful about dependencies.

BTDT, I assure you :-)

Hello tetrastes and MarkMLl, I tried
   sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0:386
and got error message "package libssl1.0.0:386 cannot be found". I tried other versions, which I found in the source of unit 'openssl', with the same result. I guess that, as lainz said, 32-bit is not longer supported by Ubuntu.

Again I had a look at the link from MarkMLl. There are 12 possibilities which all start with "libssl1.0.0" and all end with "i386.deb". I don't know how to proceed if there is not someone who can tell me that. And of course I don't want to damage something on my system.

As I've said: I'm not an Ubuntu user, I've pointed you at the central repository which is where one starts looking if using a Debian derivative and I'm not prepared to give more specific advice since I'm not in a position to fix things if they break.

Are you SURE that Ubuntu no longer has a multiarch facility? Debian certainly does and I think Ubuntu used to... Google for that specific word.

If Ubuntu really has stopped providing 32-bit SSL libraries and they don't have multiarch then either build for 64-bit or use a different distro.

I suspect it needs an 'i' in the '386' -

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0:i386

I cannot test for libssl1.0.0:i386 on my u20.04 but I can find libssl1.1:i386.  While Ubuntu no longer makes a 32bit distro, they "seem" to still have the 32bit libraries available, perhaps for compatibility purposes.

You are so right dbannon, the 'i' was missing! With it your command worked and I could install the wanted 32-bit library. Now I can download files in 64- and 32-bit FPC programs. Thank you very much! This is a great forum.
