Package: libmate-menu2 Version: 1.16.0-2 Severity: normal I have been doing experiments on Crossgrading of Mate and Xorg from i386 to amd64. The crossgrading following the instructions in http://blog.calhariz.com/post/2017/07/12/Crossgrading-a-minimal-install-of-Debian-9 that are an adaptation from the Debian Wiki https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading
The crossgrade fails with the message: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libmate-menu2:amd64: libmate-menu2:i386 (1.16.0-2) breaks libmatemenu and is installed. libmate-menu2:amd64 (1.16.0-2) provides libmatemenu. The way to exit from this situation is: dpkg --install --force-breaks /var/cache/apt/archives/libmate-menu2_1.16.0-2_amd64.deb Kind regards Jose M Calhariz -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libmate-menu2:amd64 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 libmate-menu2:amd64 recommends no packages. libmate-menu2:amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
