When I tried to install ia32-libs on Ubuntu 15.04 it gives me this error:

N: Ignoring file 'ia32-libs-raring.list' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Ignoring file 'ia32-libs-raring.list' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate

    Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) is no longer supported. The ia32-libs package has been deprecated for some time. What is you actual end goal? – steeldriver Dec 18 '15 at 14:39

    Delete the file. And there is no more ia32-libs package. You need to install the i386 version of each library dependency separately, instead. – dobey Dec 18 '15 at 14:53
  • The file is on "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/" I don't know how to delete it. – Mahfuz Ahmed likhon Dec 18 '15 at 14:56
  • @dobey ah, my bad. I forgot the raring part. We don't usually close questions as duplicates unless the questions are the same/very similar (there's a reason it is called "exact duplicate" hehe). Since there are multiple problems here I added an answer. Thanks for the edit btw. Answered from mobile and forgot to include sudo. – Seth Dec 18 '15 at 16:53
  • With the following command, you will see some hex-codes. [Edit] your question and add the output of ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ia32-libs-raring* | od -A x -t x1z -v – A.B. Dec 18 '15 at 18:23

Run the command: 

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ia32-libs-raring.list

That will clear the first two errors. As for installing ia32-libs, that package has been deprecated for a while now. Whatever instructions you are following are outdated. For more information see What happened to the ia32-libs package?

Also, please upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10, 15.04 will become end of life next month. You will lose updates and support and upgrading will become harder.

    @heemayl He'll be back after hats ;) I usually use this avatar around April Fools (old joke) but it fits hats better. – Seth Dec 18 '15 at 16:55
  • And why is .list an invalid extension? I have created a file with exact this name and I have no problem. – A.B. Dec 18 '15 at 18:16
