Hello, when working on the next version of dose-distcheck we found a cornercase where we are not sure about multiarch semantics. To explain the problem at hand of an example: without mutiarch, we all know that a self-conflict is ignored:
Package: a1 Architecture: amd64 Version: 1 Conflicts: virta Provides: virta Package a1 is clearly installable. Now, lets extend this to multiarch: Package: a2 Architecture: amd64 Version: 1 Provides: virta Conflicts: virta Multi-Arch: same Package: a2 Architecture: i386 Version: 1 Provides: virta Conflicts: virta Multi-Arch: same Can package a2 be installed for both architectures at the same time? Policy section 7.4 seems to indicate that yes, but then it was written without multiarch in mind. What do you think should be the right answer? -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
