I tried this and it worked fine. Then I tried to run it a second time - 
uh-oh :-)

The first bug was that due to a slight version mismatch in the 
libc6-i386 package, the flashplugin-nonfree package and its dependencies 
were removed:

64studio:/home/daniel# aptitude install ~t^cdd$

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
flashplugin-nonfree
ia32-libs
ia32-libs-gtk
lib32asound2
lib32gcc1
lib32ncurses5
lib32stdc++6
libc6-i386
nspluginwrapper

Score is -1485

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]


The second bug was no big deal, but I thought I'd mention it for the 
sake of completeness...

Setting up k3d (0.6.6.0.ds1-1~bpo.1) ...
WARNING: compile error while trying to byte-compile 
/usr/share/k3d/tutorials/gts_boolean.py: Sorry: TypeError: ('compile() 
expected string without null bytes',)

It didn't stop the script though.

Cheers!
