Package: sane-utils Version: 1.0.22-7.1 Severity: minor Multi-arch has come far enough that it is now possible to install wine:i386 on an otherwise amd64 system. However, wine:i386 Depends on libwine-sane:i386, which Depends on libsane:i386, which Recommends sane-utils.
Because sane-utils is not marked as multi-arch, the dependency from libsane:i386 can only be satisfied by sane-utils:i386, so aptitude tries to install that. However, sane-utils:amd64 and sane-utils:i386 are not co-installable, so they conflict, and aptitude has to work out that it must break the recommendation. If sane-utils was "Multi-arch: Foreign" (which seems appropriate, since the only interfaces it contains are command-line and network-based), then the dependency from libsane:i386 could be satisfied by sane-utils:amd64. (I have only tried wine/1.4-0.3 from experimental, but I suspect that the same is true for wine/1.2.3-0.3 in unstable). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sane-utils depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.43 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-1 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-1 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii libieee1284-3 0.2.11-10 ii libsane 1.0.22-7.1 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-21 ii update-inetd 4.43 sane-utils recommends no packages.
