And believe me, you just made an ungodly mess. This will cause apt to try and fix the ungodly mess you just made.

The article recognizes the need for a fix, and suggests you do so thusly: apt-get -f install I wouldn't trust apt any farther than I can throw it. You already have them installed, so your system will run, but at this stage. You see, you now have multiple i386 packages that don't have an actual multiarch equivalent, so you will be stuck with various technically "unavailable" dependencies. This will download the list of all 64-bits packages, which you will need to finish crossgrading your system.Īt this point, your system acts very much like nothing happened, except that your ability to install anything is well and truly broken. Ubuntu thinks it's a proper 64-bits system. The basics are: dpkg -add-architecture amd64Īpt-get -download-only install dpkg:amd64 tar:amd64 apt:amd64ĭpkg -install /var/cache/apt/archives/*_bĪt which point you will be able to do this: dpkg -print-architecture This is not the same article described in the original accepted answer, because in the mean time things have changed, mostly for the better.

Way too much stuff to trust it to keep working while you perform open heart surgery on your system.Īll that said, the following Debian article explains how to cross-grade your system: The reinstallation was performed entirely from console (aptitude FTW, of course), because the console pretty much only requires a working bash (and working curses for aptitude, but if you try to do this, curses will be plentiful, you can bet on it), whereas X requires. Needless to say, this is not a good idea, when a sizable portion of the apt system (an lots of other things, really) depends on a working PERL. Then merrily proceed to try removing 1234 other packages before getting 'round to actually reinstalling PERL.
This was after I manually installed a bunch of packages, including the correct version of PERL, to fix an apt screwup: you see, apt-get -f install (which is required to get a mostly-working 64-bits system) will uninstall PER元2 in order to install PERL64. Including manually fixing 600+ broken packages in aptitude, because the automatic resolver started looping, apparently due to PERL:i386 (required by installed packages) being incompatible with PERL:amd64 (required by the packages you are trying to install).
Upgrading from 32 to 64 bits without explodifying my system took me the better part of a week. That said, the words "can" and "should" look nothing alike, and that is also true of an upgrade and a fresh installation. It is, in fact, possible to upgrade Ubuntu from 32 to 64 bits. I shall cast raise dead, because this thread is one of the top results for "upgrade ubuntu to 64 bits", and the chosen answer, while admittedly the smart choice, is not the full story.
