Source: elixir-lang Version: 1.7.4-0.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch It's not currently possible to apt install elixir erlang:amd64 on an i386 system, or apt install elixir erlang:i386 on an amd64 system. But the elixir package only contains arch-independent beams and shell scripts, so it should be possible to do so. The erlang packages were recently made Multi-Arch: allowed [1] and the only missing piece is to make elixir explicitly depend on erlang-base:any | erlang-base-hipe:any, which expresses the fact that elixir doesn't use any arch-specific bits of erlang. For more info, see [2]. I'm attaching a patch that does exactly this.
