I’m trying to host a game server on my DO Ubuntu x64 Droplet and it needs the libstdc++6:i386 library as a prerequisite. I had no problem installing this on my local Ubuntu x64 VM or on the Ubuntu x64 VM from another known VPS host so before I waste any of my time I’d like to know if Digital Ocean blacklists some apt packages like libstdc++6:i386.
For those interested, here is the full error message:
root@ubuntu-s-2vcpu-2gb-nyc1-01:~$ sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done E: Unable to locate package libstdc++6:i386 E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘libstdc++6’

Ok, this is my fault and I fixed it but I figured I’d leave my solution here for anyone else who happens to encounter similar problems.
TL:DR You are probably missing dependencies.
The ones I needed were as follows, yours may differe:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 libcurl4-gnutls-dev:i386
Yeah, I’m still a Linux newb and learning.
