I have existing Lazarus 32bit binaries I want to run on Ubuntu 14.04
64bits, and I am unable to install the required 32 bit libraries.


Quoteroot@vmi29181:~# sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev:i386

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have installed the 32bit architecture stuff.

I am sure the brave intrepid Lazarus users have come across this
problem and overcome it.

Any ideas?

Well, you need those GTK2 deps or it won't work.
You could try rebuilding your binary executables with QT instead of
GTK2.

You have to fix the held broken packages.
