Hullo there, In a multiarch[1] environment, it is possible to install some packages for multiple architectures at the same time. These are marked with a "Multi-Arch: same" header. Files may be shared between packages with same name and different architecture provided that their contents are equal. Unfortunately not all packages carrying this header fulfil this requirement. This can cause errors from dpkg while trying to install such packages (similar to file conflicts). Using the multiarch branch of dedup.debian.net[2], packages violating this property were identified. The automated analysis was manually verified, and categorised.
[1] https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch [2] https://wiki.debian.org/dedup.debian.net Below is a summary of the results, divided into categories. We will be doing a mass-bug-filing on them, with details, flagged as Severity:Important. An example of a similar previously filed multiarch-tagged bug can be found here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=671790 Please include me in replies to the list, at [email protected]. I'll be away for the coming week, and then will file the bugs if nobody has objected.
