Created attachment 107096 [details] Output of apt when attempting to upgrade the mesa packages. Using the Padoka stable ppa to upgrade the (i386) mesa drivers (https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/pkppa) is not possible due to a package conflict. Attached are some example conflict issues. (aptconflicts.txt). The package of interest is libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 but attempting installation results in: The following packages have unmet dependencies. libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Depends: libwayland-client0:i386 (>= 1.11.0) but it is not going to be installed Trying to issue a command to install both packages requires removal of ~500 packages. Uncertain where the conflict is exactly.
It's because we don't build i386 packages. It's on the todo but not very high priority. Why do you need i386 packages? Jonathan
It's a steam requirement. Steam doesn't run unless the 32 bit drivers are also installed. Fwiw the git branch (https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa) does not cause package conflicts.
Con confirm it also happens to me on KDE Neon with the https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/pkppa installed.
I can confirm this issue with installing 32bit. It can be worked around by installing the ubuntu repo version 1.12.0-1~ubuntu16.04.1 for both the x86_64 and i386 versions. ``` apt install libwayland-client0=1.12.0-1~ubuntu16.04.1 libwayland-client0:i386=1.12.0-1~ubuntu16.04.1 ``` should do the job. The issue seems to be with the packaging of libwayland-client0:i386 as the one in the Neon repository refuses to install next to the x86_64 version but the ones from other repositories is fine. I'm also using Padoka pkppa ppa. Note that 32bit Mesa is needed for the majority of proprietary games on Linux.

This does indeed work; downgrading the libwayland-client0 package to a version that is also built for i386. Optional is then to also pin the neon package with a lower priority so it does not show up as a 'not upgraded' package.
^ my bad, can someone delete this comment and the previous one?
Sorry to harp on this issue, but again I ran into a situation where I wanted to install i386 packages but was ultimately stopped by a dependency blocked by a missing i386 build. In this case package: 'libharfbuzz0b'
For me it is wine that requires i386 packages.
