Question #659557 on Yade changed:

Luc Scholtès gave more information on the question:
Before reinstalling ubuntu 14, I would liek to ask if this problem coul
dbe related to the libsuitesparse-metis-dev that needs to be install
(cf. yade installation page).

When I tried to install it

sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-metis-dev

Here is what I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libsuitesparse-metis-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it: libsuitesparse-dev:i386 libsuitesparse-dev
E: Package 'libsuitesparse-metis-dev' has no installation candidate 

Following this message, I tried to install libsuitesparse-dev:i386 and
libsuitesparse-dev but, and it seems that I missed it the first time,
libsuitesparse-dev:i386 cannot be installed.

Here is what I get when I sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev:i386:

Reading package lists... Done

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libsuitesparse-dev:i386 : Depends: libcholmod3.0.6:i386 (= 1:4.4.6-1) but it is not going to be installed
                           Depends: libumfpack5.7.1:i386 (= 1:4.4.6-1) but it is not going to be installed
                           Depends: libspqr2.0.2:i386 (= 1:4.4.6-1) but it is not going to be installed
                           Depends: libblas-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed or
                                    libblas.so:i386
                           Depends: liblapack-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed or
                                    liblapack.so:i386
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What should I do? Any suggestions about this? What do you guys have done
on Ubuntu 16.04?

Luc
