I am using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, but I need to install a 32-bit version of a package to use with a proprietary extension for it, which is only available in 32-bit. How can I install the 32-bit version of the package, while I am running a 64-bit system?

To install the 32-bit version of a package, you simply need to use package:i386 when installing the package, rather than simply package.

For example, to install the 32-bit version of r-base you would run sudo apt-get install r-base:i386.
