have been trying to download scratch 2 on ubuntu howere I got this far and I dont know what to do:

getlibs -1 libhal-storage.so.1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0

E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate
getopt: unrecognized option '-1'
No match for libhal-storage.so.1
No packages to install

what to I do??? Thank you

To install Scratch 2 Offline version it is necessary to:

  1. install Adobe Air
  2. install Scrath 2 with Adobe Air

But it is a nightmare to install Adobe Air.

Luckily I've found here (in last part of the page) a small script that runs perfectly and does everything on 18.04.2 LTS for me.

So the solution is :

  1. create this script

     #!/bin/bash

 if [ $EUID -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "To be launched with sudo" 1>&2
    exit 1
 fi

 echo ">> Remove previous versions..."
 apt-get -y --purge remove adobeair
 rm -rf /opt/adobe-air-sdk
 rm /usr/share/applications/Scratch2.desktop

 CHKBITS=`uname -m`
 if [ $CHKBITS = "x86_64" ]; then
     echo ">> Installing dependencies 32bit..."
     apt-get -q update
     apt-get -q -y install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libqt4-qt3support:i386 libgnome-keyring0:i386 libnss-mdns:i386 libnss3:i386
 fi

 echo ">> Link Gnome libraries..."
 ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
 ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0

 echo ">> Download Adobe Air SDK..."
 wget -q http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2
 mkdir /opt/adobe-air-sdk
 tar jxf AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2 -C /opt/adobe-air-sdk

 echo ">> Download Air runtime/SDK from Archlinux..."
 wget -q https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/adobe-air.tar.gz
 tar xvf adobe-air.tar.gz -C /opt/adobe-air-sdk
 chmod +x /opt/adobe-air-sdk/adobe-air/adobe-air

 echo ">> Download Scratch2..."
 mkdir /opt/adobe-air-sdk/scratch
 wget -q -O /opt/adobe-air-sdk/scratch/scratch.air https://scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/sa/Scratch-456.0.4.air

 echo ">> Creating launcher..."
 unzip -j /opt/adobe-air-sdk/scratch/scratch.air icons/AppIcon128.png -d /opt/adobe-air-sdk/scratch/
 cat << _EOF_ > /usr/share/applications/Scratch2.desktop
 [Desktop Entry]
 Encoding=UTF-8
 Version=1.0
 Type=Application
 Exec=/opt/adobe-air-sdk/adobe-air/adobe-air /opt/adobe-air-sdk/scratch/scratch.air
 Icon=/opt/adobe-air-sdk/scratch/AppIcon128.png
 Terminal=false
 Name=Scratch 2
 Comment=Programación visual con Scatch 2.0
 Categories=Application;Education;Development;ComputerScience;
 MimeType=application/x-scratch-project
 _EOF_
 chmod +x /usr/share/applications/Scratch2.desktop

 echo ">> the END!"

  2. execute this script with sudo

  3. now it should be installed, just search Scratch 2 in your application and launch it !

Than do it, install lib32z1, lib32ncurses5, lib32bz2-1.0, the answer is already in the error message.

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0

  • Also, I have ubuntu 14.0.4; shouldn't I have a newer version of ia32-libs already installed. If so, what's it called? – baxter Sep 04 '15 at 16:38
