uncrustify v0.59, compiled from source, copied to /usr/local/bin
openJDK 6 32-bit Installed via APT, in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386: 
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk:i386 \
     libice-dev libsm-dev libxt-dev
# Adding 'libice-dev libsm-dev libxt-dev' 
# ... to avoid these packages to be removed

Otherwise it can also be copied from e.g. Ubuntu Lucid 32-bit distribution (used to copy /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk to /usr/lib32/jvm/java-6-openjdk)

openJDK 7 (openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre) Selected alternatives with: 
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac

Installing this package removed some package, so reinstall them back with: 
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ dkms \
     nvidia-current virtualbox-dkms

Compiling with gcc -m32 still does not work though (missing 32-bit libgcc.a). Installing package gcc-4.6:i386 force removal of many 64-bit packages. Instead we go for solution given here: 

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
make documentation (make-doc)
screen (screen)
amarok (amarok)
dropbox (dropbox python-gpgme) python-gpgme needed for dropbox daemon download authentication
