--- Begin Message ---Version: 1.111 On 21 Nov 2012 you reported the following: > How can I (or where can I read how to) mark as foreign as you suggest? > > Please note that I need the :all package to fulfill dependencias both for > xserver-xorg-core:i386 and for xserver-xorg-core:amd64 One of the causes for this bug was that at the time the package keyboard-configuration was not declared as 'Multi-Arch: foreign'. This was corrected in version 1.111 of console-setup (8 Aug 2014). Unfortunately, due to a mistake the bug was not closed at the time. I am closing it now. Anton Zinoviev
