I just had a heck of a time installing Crossover from the .deb package (ia32-crossover_11.3.0-1_amd64.deb) and thought I'd share the experience in case it's helpful to anyone. After much messing around with new software sources and the like, it turns out I was just over-thinking it, and my fresh install of Linux Mint LMDE needed a good 'ol "apt-get update". From the top (of my most recent attempt, without modifications to repos because therein lies madness):
I begin with a simple attempt to install:
$ sudo dpkg -i '/home/weaver/Desktop/ia32-crossover_11.3.0-1_amd64.deb'
[sudo] password for weaver:

Unpacking ia32-crossover (from .../ia32-crossover_11.3.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ia32-crossover:
ia32-crossover depends on libc6-i386; however:
Package libc6-i386 is not installed.
ia32-crossover depends on ia32-libs | ia32-apt-get; however:

Package ia32-apt-get is not installed.
ia32-crossover depends on lib32gcc1; however:

ia32-crossover depends on lib32nss-mdns; however:

ia32-crossover depends on lib32z1; however:

ia32-crossover depends on lib32asound2; however:
Package lib32asound2 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing ia32-crossover (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
ia32-crossover
Alright, then, dpkg doesn't grab the dependencies I need, so I'll use apt-get -f install to force installation:
$ sudo apt-get -f install

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ia32-crossover : Depends: libc6-i386 but it is not installed
Depends: ia32-libs but it is not installed or
ia32-apt-get but it is not installable
Depends: lib32gcc1 but it is not installed
Depends: lib32nss-mdns but it is not installed
Depends: lib32z1 but it is not installed
Depends: lib32asound2 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.So, sure, I should probably run apt-get update (maybe that's the problem, anyway...):
