Subject: libdlib-data does not include Multi-Arch: foreign Package: libdlib-data Version: 18.18-1 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, I've tried to install libdlib18:armhf in a multiarch setup. It failed with libdlib18:armhf : Depends: libdlib-data:armhf but it is not installable. I found out that libdlib-data is Architecture: All, but was missing Multi-Arch: foreign in the package control. After adding this and repackaging, I managed to install libdlib18:armhf without problems. See: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dlib/+question/405074 As requested I'm opening this bug to ask for Multi-Arch: foreign to be included in the control of libdlib-data. As far as I can see there are no objections to do so, only thing I'm not sure about is if making libdlib-data Multi-Arch: foreign causes problems for distributions with big-endianess. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial'), (100, 'xenial-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-51-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
