I am a very new Ubuntu user and want to install ia32-libs on ubuntu 16.04(32bit). I used ia32-libs-multiarch_20090808ubuntu35_i386.deb file to install but it is not installing.Showing following error.

root@n:/home/malik/Downloads# dpkg -i ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu35_amd64.deb 
(Reading database ... 202040 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu35_amd64.deb ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ia32-libs:amd64:

    ia32-libs has been deprecated for some time I think - multiarch should have made it obsolete. What is the actual problem you are trying to solve? – steeldriver Aug 18 '16 at 12:10
  • I assume you're trying to install a program that depends on ia32-libs directly or indirectly. If you tell us what exactly you're trying to achieve, we can probably find a better solution. You're also on a 32-bit installation so there should actually be no need for ia32-libs. – David Foerster Aug 18 '16 at 12:40
  • Same issue has been already handled in the link below. check it https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2025560 – BDRSuite Aug 18 '16 at 12:51
  • This question is off topic as non-reproducible because it has been abandoned by the author for 6 years. – karel May 24 '20 at 04:49
