Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-128.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

I have an i386 system which I would like to update a subset of to amd64 (a
partial cross-grade). Two of the packages which I need to install are
mythtv-{database,backend}:amd64 (from dmo) which each have a dependency on cron
which cannot be satisfied by non-multiarch cron:i386 (native for the system).

Marking the package as Multi-Arch: foreign would allow the i386 version to
satisfy those dependencies.

>From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec, Multi-Arch: foreign means:

    The package is not co-installable and should be allowed to satisfy the
    dependencies of a package of another architecture than its own.

Since cron behaves the same whether it is i386 or amd64 I think foreign is
appropriate.

The patch is so trivial I almost hesitate to attach it, but here it is. I've
tested that with this cron:i386 installed the mythtv-{database,backend}:amd64
dependencies are satisfied.

Thanks,
Ian.
