lmao

Better report that to Linux Mint devs. We don't remove anything from your system, and you only need to install 32-bit dependencies. If doing so annihilates your system, it's a system bug.

Same issue on Xubuntu, someone should look into this and update the steps on the read me.
But based on the response you received I don't expect any urgency or care with the information the contributors will provide.

And both of you completely failed, at least, to post your distro version.

Well, I will try doing that on VM, but I'm also using Ubuntu and not having any of these problems.

Yep, that's installing libsdl2-dev:i386 that breaks everything.

This is still a system bug, but I think I know the possible workaround.

After a quick look, it seems the culprit is the apt/apt-get dependency resolver.

If I mark as installed manually one of the packages that apt wants to delete, it doesn't remove anything. Easier way is to install the same package with aptitude which doesn't remove anything. I will edit README.md accordingly.

As for repairing the system, I'm not sure how to do this, as I don't know what packages were removed on your system. That's something user should know better.
