--- Begin Message ---Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.18-4 Severity: normal Hi. Currently the libc6-dev package is Recommends: gcc | c-compiler This is fine with native compilers. However, if I'm on an amd64 host, and I try to install libc6-dev:armel with intent to use it with a cross-compiler that targets armel, this recommendation is wrong. By default, apt wants to install the Recommends, so if using aptitude to install libc6-dev:armel, aptitude will try to install gcc:armel, which clashes with gcc:amd64, since gcc is not Multi-Arch:same. Aptitude then really tries to make that work by proposing to remove gcc in various ways. You have to resolve this manually. This is arguably a deficiency in aptitude, but maybe this Recommends can be loosened. I don't believe Debian has any way to specify a Multi-Arch:foreign virtual package (so the cross-compiler can't satisfy the c-compiler part of this). Can we downgrade this Recommends to a Suggests, or maybe remove it entirely? The user who installs libc6-dev likely already has a compiler, and doesn't really benefit from this Recommends.
