Package: python3-packaging Version: 25.0-1 Severity: important Justification: a lot of affected packages Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability Control: affects -1 + src:libselinux
About 1600 source packages cannot satisfy their cross Build-Depends, because they transitively depend on python3-packaging, which ends up being not satisfiable. An example package is libselinux. In general, Architecture: all packages can never satisfy cross Build-Depends unless annotated :native or marked Multi-Arch: foreign. python3-packaging is a pure Python module with no additional dependencies. Hence marking it Multi-Arch: foreign is sensible. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
