Since then I answered 'yes' for the removing of packages that were
conflicting (audacity, pulseaudio..., see previous message). Entering
those two commands requested and then performing the installation of one
of the conflicting packages leads to:
# LANG=C apt-get install audacity
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following extra packages will be installed:
  libjack-jackd2-0 libportaudio2
Suggested packages:
  ladspa-plugin jackd2
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  ia32-libs-i386:i386 libjack0:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  audacity libjack-jackd2-0 libportaudio2
0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 2 to remove and 36 not upgraded.

I met this issue when installing ia32-libs package (i.e. for 3D in wine)
and isolated ia32-libs-i386 as being the main dep issue.
