Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.2~wipmultiarch
Severity: normal
Hi,
trying to install various multiarchified packages, I hit whiptail's
#658319, and it seems it resulted in a funny state for this package:
| # dpkg -l whiptail:i386 whiptail:amd64 whiptail
| un whiptail <none> (no description
available)
| in whiptail <none> (no description
available)
| No packages found matching whiptail:amd64.
|
| # dpkg -P whiptail:i386 whiptail:amd64 whiptail
| dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching whiptail:i386
| dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching whiptail:amd64
| dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching whiptail
|
| # dpkg -l '*:i386'
| […]
| in whiptail <none>
Removing all *:i386 foreign packages to try and remove the i386 foreign
architecture, whiptail is indeed getting in the way (with patch from
#658812):
| dpkg: error: cannot remove architecture 'i386' currently in use by the
database (for at least 'whiptail')
Asking gdb to break on ../../src/main.c:536, I get this for “pkg”:
| (gdb) p *pkg
| $2 = {set = 0x760090, arch_next = 0x0, want = want_install, eflag = eflag_ok,
status = stat_notinstalled,

configversion = {epoch = 0, version = 0x0,
| revision = 0x0}, files = 0x0, installed = {depends = 0x0, essential =
false, multiarch = multiarch_no, arch = 0x75da20,

conffiles = 0x0, arbs = 0x0}, available = {

| (gdb) p *pkg->set
| $4 = {next = 0x0, name = 0x760220 "whiptail", pkg = {set = 0x760090,

0x0, installedsize = 0x0, origin = 0x0,

= 0x0}, depended = {available = 0x0,
| installed = 0x761b50}}
To reproduce, debootstrap sid and then:
| dpkg -i /tmp/dpkg_1.16.2~wipmultiarch_amd64.deb
| dpkg --add-architecture i386
| apt-get update
| apt-get install whiptail
| apt-get install whiptail:i386 --no-install-recommends
| apt-get -f install
then try removing packages.
