I would like to know any of adding google repository to my Ubuntu
Feisty for amd64 and be able to install/update/remove it's programs
using apt.
The manual download of the i386 architecture deb package and install
using dpkg --forcearchitecture work arround works, but does not allow
auto-updates, for example.
If it's only a matter of pretending an i386 architecture on a amd64, I
guess it should be any way to do it...
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/
I haven't tested this myself, but I think it was previously reported
to work with auto-updates on amd64 Ubuntu.

I've tried, but apt-get still adds 'amd64' to the end of the path, so
it tries to download from http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/amd64
and gets a 404.
Any idea?

If you want to install it, type this to terminal.
sudo su - (or simply log in as root)
aptitude update
aptitude -y install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32
wget http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/non-free/p/picasa/picasa_2.2.2820-5_i386.deb
dpkg -i --force-architecture picasa_2.2.2820-5_i386.deb
and it should work OK

I've followed the destructions to the letter above, got Picasa
installed :) How the dickens do you get it to run now? Simply
clicking the icon in the apps list results in a witness box opening,
and that's about it :(
