Package: ibverbs-providers
Version: 17.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Trying to install the amd64 and i386 versions of this package results in the
following error:
# apt-get install ibverbs-providers:amd64 ibverbs-providers:i386
[...]
Unpacking ibverbs-providers:i386 (17.1-1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ibverbs-providers:i386:
ibverbs-providers:amd64 (17.1-1) breaks libcxgb3-1 and is installed.
ibverbs-providers:i386 (17.1-1) provides libcxgb3-1.
ibverbs-providers:amd64 (17.1-1) breaks libipathverbs1 and is installed.
ibverbs-providers:i386 (17.1-1) provides libipathverbs1.

ibverbs-providers:i386 (17.1-1) provides libnes1.
dpkg: error processing package ibverbs-providers:i386 (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
ibverbs-providers:i386
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
So the source of the issue seems to be that ibverbs-providers:
* Provides a bunch of virtual packages
* Breaks + Replaces these virtual packages
Apt seems to consider that this means ibverbs-providers:amd64 breaks
ibverbs-providers:i386 through the virtual packages which prevents them from
being
coinstalled.
One strange thing is that, if I understand 7.6.1 of the Debian Policy Manual
correctly, Breaks + Replaces is not supposed to be used on virtual packages:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/ch-relationships.html#s7.6.1
| For this usage of Replaces, virtual packages (see Virtual packages -
Provides,
| Section 7.5) are not considered when looking at a Replaces field. The
packages
| declared as being replaced must be mentioned by their real names.
Maybe that's why Apt is confused in this multi-arch configuration.
Note that, based on 7.6.2, the usual pattern for virtual packages would be
Provides + Conflicts + Replaces:
| In this situation, the package declared as being replaced can be a virtual
| package, so for example, all mail transport agents (MTAs) would have the
| following fields in their control files:
|
| Provides: mail-transport-agent
| Conflicts: mail-transport-agent
| Replaces: mail-transport-agent
|
| ensuring that only one MTA can be unpacked at any one time
Seems like something to try to see if it fixes the issue.
