Package: apt Version: 0.8.3 Severity: normal Configuring my system for multiarch, I see the following result when trying to use apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get install libc6:armel Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: apt:armel apt-utils:armel coreutils:armel debconf:armel debconf-i18n:armel dpkg:armel findutils:armel gcc-4.5-base:armel gpgv:armel libacl1:armel libattr1:armel libbz2-1.0:armel libc-bin:armel libc6:armel libdb4.8:armel libgcc1:armel libgpm2:armel liblocale-gettext-perl:armel liblzma2:armel libncurses5:armel libreadline6:armel libselinux1:armel libstdc++6:armel libtext-charwidth-perl:armel libtext-iconv-perl:armel libtext-wrapi18n-perl:armel perl-base:armel readline-common:armel tzdata:armel ubuntu-keyring:armel xz-utils:armel zlib1g:armel Suggested packages: aptitude:armel synaptic:armel wajig:armel bzip2:armel lzma:armel python-apt:armel debconf-doc:armel debconf-utils:armel libterm-readline-gnu-perl:armel libgnome2-perl:armel libnet-ldap-perl:armel mlocate:armel locate:armel slocate:armel gnupg:armel glibc-doc:armel gpm:armel Recommended packages: gpg:armel The following NEW packages will be installed: apt:armel apt-utils:armel coreutils:armel dpkg:armel findutils:armel gcc-4.5-base:armel gpgv:armel libacl1:armel libattr1:armel libbz2-1.0:armel libc-bin:armel libc6:armel libdb4.8:armel libgcc1:armel libgpm2:armel liblocale-gettext-perl:armel liblzma2:armel libncurses5:armel libreadline6:armel libselinux1:armel libstdc++6:armel libtext-charwidth-perl:armel libtext-iconv-perl:armel perl-base:armel xz-utils:armel zlib1g:armel 0 upgraded, 26 newly installed, 0 to remove and 36 not upgraded. Need to get 14.7MB of archives. After this operation, 46.0MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? But this libc6 package does not declare itself to be Multi-Arch: same, which means that installing libc6:armel should *remove* libc6:amd64 *and all its reverse dependencies*. So it's definitely a bug here that apt is not offering to remove my entire system. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
