Problem solved. Conflicting Action on dpkg

[Morbuzka]

I feel stupid for not knowing something simple like this.
I'm just trying to add the i386 architecture with dpkg, but this happens

(precise)aaron@localhost:~$ sudo dpkg -i -architecture i386
[sudo] password for aaron:
dpkg: error: conflicting actions -r (--remove) and -i (--install)
 
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
 
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
(precise)aaron@localhost:~$

I don't need -r and I'm not sure how it conflicts with install.

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

apparently, --add doesn't exist on dpkg

Ah right, apparently it's not implemented in Ubuntu 12.04. What do you need it for exactly?

Yeah, I was just reading that. I need it so I can that the i386 architecture for/of WINE, so is there another way, since dpkg doesn't work?

I don't know if you can without upgrading Ubuntu.

Hmm, okay. I'm still searching for different ways. For some reason, I'm stuck on "no module named wx"
That little guy has been pissing me off since day 2. Any ideas on how to fix that?

It's okay, Ozz, I got playonlinux installed by other means, and it's all working out fine. Thanks for the help.
