Trouble Installing ia32-libs on Debian 12 for Running 32-bit Application

I am trying to install ia32-libs on my Debian 12 system to run a 32-bit application. I've tried the following commands:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ia32-libs

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ia32-libs

I'm receiving the error:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming

I have also attempted installing specific 32 bit libraries individually but encountered similar dependency issues.

How can I successfully install the necessary 32-bit libraries on my Debian 12 system to run my 32-bit application?

Solution

I think the ia32-libs is no longer supported. If you know what libs you actually need, you can then try

sudo apt-get install <lib>:386

sudo apt-get install <lib>:386

, e.g. for libc6

sudo apt-get install libc6:386

sudo apt-get install libc6:386
