Crossover can't find lib32nss-mdns

As it says in the title, it cannot install lib32nss-mdns because it's missing in the repositories, as my search has yielded there is no such package in Xenial anymore, as can be seen here.
Using Xubuntu 16.04.

Every time I launch Crossover it tries to install lib32nss-mdns, but every time it fails to do so.
What's annoying about this is that it also tries to install the package every time I want to install a new game via Crossover.
I'm not sure whether it prevents the other packages from being installed afterwards either.

Can you try installing the 32bit version of the libnss library?

apt-get install libnss-mdns:i386

And see if that helps?

Thank you, that solved the problem indeed.

No more error message.

Excellent!

Though, this now signifies that there's something strange about our fallback for library detection. I have filed a bug in our tracker. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
