Is it really necessary to discuss severity of a bug with a trivial one-line fix? Either way, let the release team or maintainer downgrade. > It is known that icu-config (and similar legacy/pre-pkg-config > *-config binaries) are not multiarch aware, and only ever output > results for the architecture they were compiled. Exactly, and this is the reason why -dev packages with *-config scripts must never become M-A:same (or hide this via a M-A:foreign -devtools package). > Due to this, it is clearly a M-A:foreign package, and it is up to the > user to pull in the right arch one which in most cases is the > icu-devtools:native one. No, this is wrong. While the user bears the responsibility of actually being able to execute code in the package (or not executing it), the package maintainer bears the responsibility that the behaviour of the contained tools does not vary per architecture. See for example libgpg-error. libgpg-error-dev is M-A:no, because it contains gpg-error-config. A comprehensive discussion can be found in bug #643341. If you find a -dev package with a *-config tool that is not M-A:no, then this is a bug. Can you name one? > Are there any existing dependencies in the archive that cause to pull > in a wrong arch icu-devtools and produce undesired effects? Please find a failing build log of libxml2 attached. Build-Depends were satisfied. Beyond this, having icu-config in a M-A:foreign package utterly breaks cross-compilation of its reverse dependencies. There is no question whether this needs fixing. It may be a question of whether it needs fixing for jessie as cross toolchains didn't make it, but people do build their own as we learned in the ctte bug. Helmut
