Package: debconf Version: 1.5.36 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu natty ubuntu-patch
Hi guys, I've just applied a patch to debconf in Ubuntu to mark the debconf package 'Multi-Arch: foreign'; this indicates, per <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec>, that debconf will satisfy the dependencies of packages of other architectures when it's installed. Since debconf is rather low in the stack, and it's perfectly safe to tag packages as Multi-Arch: foreign in advance of a package manager that's capable of understanding this (which should be along soon in any case), I request that this be set on the package in Debian as well. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
