I am on 14.04 (64-bits) and I want to install some <package>:i386 packages from 12.04.

The reason I want to do this is because some of my 32-bit applications work well on 12.04 but not on 14.04.

How could I do that?

  • It is not recommended to mix different releases or distro repositories, you might wanna comment what actual problems are you having with what program(s).

  • I am running ModelSim DE 10.1g from Mentor Graphics. What I got is just a SIGSEGV(11) and a core dump file.

If you do not want to impair your system, than download the deb files an install with

sudo dpkg -i your_deb_file

but even that is not without risk. Preparing yourself that you could get problems.

  • That's lots of packages to download manually.
