Problem installing nvidia-driver-libs-i386

[Felix Dörre]

Hi,

I believe on debian bullseye or sid the correct package is called 
"nvidia-driver-libs:i386". You seem to still have buster sources active, 
which is the reason, why apt finds the package at all, but is confused 
about its dependencies. The "nvidia-driver-libs-i386" is an artifact of 
older apt mechanics which has been removed/cleaned up in the meantime.

Kind regards,
Felix
