This is a known problem, but there is no way to define cross-architecture conflicts with the current dependencies system, and the conflicts/provides doesn't work either as long as we keep providing biarch or triarch packages. This bug is therefore not going to be fixed until a technical solution is found. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
