Hi Thorsten, it took me some time to make sense of this report. You'd tend to include all sorts of context in your bug reports which you use to bury the actual request - just putting "please M-A pg-common" in the subject would have helped a lot. Context is nice to have in bug reports, but please make it sound like context, not like the problem. Anyway, I used the opportunity to dig through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec again, and I believe I found a set of packages that we can mark "Multi-Arch: foreign" without breaking anything. There's even a picture about it: https://alioth.debian.org/scm/loggerhead/pkg-postgresql/postgresql-common/trunk/download/head:/dependencies.png-20140810210718-qrxnqfvfo0ha0zcu-3/dependencies.png Martin, could you check if that makes sense? I thought about "Multi-Arch: allowed" for "postgresql", but refrained because I didn't want to invoke too much magic at once. Christoph -- [email protected] | http://www.df7cb.de/
