Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.

Some Linux apps are built using a 32-bit architecture and so to run them on a 64-bit system you will need to add the necessary 32-bit libraries to your Linux distribution.

Bash:
root@cana:~# apt install ia32-libs

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  lib32z1 lib32ncurses5

E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate
root@cana:~#

Solution: apt install lib32z1

On older Linux distribution, we install ia32-libs, but on newer Linux distribution, install lib32z1 instead (they're the same) :)

This package is required if you want to run SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server (DNAS) v1.9.8 on today's modern 64-bit Linux system.
