--- Begin Message ---Package: libgnutls28-dev Version: 3.3.8-4~bpo70+1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, package libgnutls28-dev:amd64 offers all required file to build an application with GnuTLS on Debian amd64 architecture. Whereas libgnutls28-dev:i386 lacks some important files (libgnutls.a and the link libgnutls.so). Thus it is impossible to cross-compile to i386. * What led up to the situation? Cross-compiling an application with GnuTLS from amd64 to i386. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? gcc -m32 * What was the outcome of this action? Link fails: /usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: cannot find -lgnutls * What outcome did you expect instead? That the package libgnutls28-dev:i386 offers the same files as libgnutls28-dev:amd64 : ll /usr/lib/*/libgnutls.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 nov. 18 22:27 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so -> libgnutls-deb0.so.28.41.0 ll /usr/lib/*/libgnutls.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2435010 nov. 18 22:27 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.a Regards, Michel -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (50, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libgnutls28-dev depends on: ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.13-38+deb7u6 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.8-4~bpo70+1 ii libgnutlsxx28 3.3.8-4~bpo70+1 ii libp11-kit-dev 0.20.7-1~bpo70+1 ii libtasn1-6-dev 4.2-2~bpo70+1 ii nettle-dev 2.7.1-1~bpo70+1 ii zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 libgnutls28-dev recommends no packages.

It's a blocker for me. Gnutls is Multi-Arch: same in wheezy, however not all the packages it depends on are: (WHEEZY)ametzler@argenau:~$ apt-cache show libgnutls28-dev libgmp-dev libgmpxx4l dbl libgnutlsxx28 libp11-kit-dev libtasn1-6-dev nettle-dev zlib1g-dev | grep -E '^Pac|^Mult*' Package: libgnutls28-dev Multi-Arch: same Package: libgmp-dev Multi-Arch: same Package: libgmpxx4ldbl Multi-Arch: same Package: libgnutlsxx28 Multi-Arch: same Package: libp11-kit-dev Package: libp11-kit-dev Package: libtasn1-6-dev Package: nettle-dev Package: nettle-dev Package: zlib1g-dev Multi-Arch: same > I don't understand why the -dev package is specific to the architecture. [...] There might be good reasons, like architecture specific headers. Supporting Multi-Arch: same in -dev packages requires more effort than in runtime stuff and the benefit is small. - Keeping a chroot for building is not much of a effort and the actual is simpler. Closing, since this is not an issue in gnutls itself. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
